I am currently the music and band teacher for a PK-12 public school in rural Missouri. I earned a Master's Degree in Music Education from Hunter College and was formerly the General Music Teacher at PS 124, Yung Wing Elementary in Chinatown, New York City, where I taught general music (Pre-K through 5th grade), directed the PS 124 Glee Club and was the Music Director of the PS 124 Theatre Club. I was a 2015 recipient of the Freddie G Fellowship.
