Summary
Impassioned musical educator and performer that is excited for every opportunity afforded to me to use creativity as a vehicle for imparting happiness onto others. My central goal in life is to be able to show students this experience by creating a space in the classroom for them to discover their intellectual/emotional identities and to be excited by their own uniqueness.
