It is my pleasure to serve as Dutchtown Middle Orchestra Director. This is my 2nd year at Dutchtown, and I am excited to see what this year brings! My teaching experience includes teaching orchestra in Clayton County and Fulton County. I have taught orchestra at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I am dedicated to teaching as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong love of music! After teaching at all three levels of school, I have determined that teaching at the middle school level is the most fun and rewarding. There is such a reward in seeing the kids get excited about seeing instruments, hearing the sounds those instruments make, and showing a willingness to learn how to play those instruments.  

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music from Valdosta State University.
