Something you should know about me!
I give my 100% in everything I do with my career; if I commit to a project I commit all the way. I never take on a project that I can NOT finish or handle with all of my efforts.
Accomplishments
Receiving my first teaching job at St. Martin of Tours School, leading my adult community chorus members in concerts when many of them are 30-40 years older than me (this can be challenging as a young director), dealing with difficult parents in the school professionally, graduating from OU with a decent GPA, making Dean's List the majority of my quarters at OU, and winning the following awards: National Choral Award in 2002 and the Sword of Honor Award for Sigma Alpha Iota in 2007.
Upcoming Projects
*Grandparents Day, Christmas Concert, Spring PTO/Concert, and 8th grade Musical to be decided from the Broadway Jr. collection.
