State certified music teacher with a masters degree in secondary education. Experienced in elementary and middle school music instruction. Passionate about students and bringing out their fullest potential.
I am not only a teacher but also a performer. I was selected to participate on NBC's The Voice reality television series season 21 and made it to top 32 with John Legend as my coach! On the show I was mentored by John Legend, Camila Cabello, and Ed Sheeran. This experience has changed me forever and has given me a new approach to education.
