I am a dynamic and results-driven online educator with extensive experience in virtual curriculum development and instructional design. My passion lies in delivering engaging remote learning experiences that cater to diverse student populations. I have a proven ability to foster interactive, student-centered online classrooms while leveraging technology to enhance learning outcomes.

Currently, I serve as a Music Teacher at Noble-Reed Elementary, where I design and deliver comprehensive music education programs for students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. I create 296 engaging lessons annually, utilizing diverse instructional techniques and coordinating school-wide events that incorporate technology seamlessly into our programs. My previous roles have allowed me to implement innovative music literacy and performance programs, fostering strong relationships with students, parents, and staff to support educational goals.

With a Master’s of Music Education from Texas A&M University-Commerce and multiple certifications in Orff and Kodaly methodologies, I am committed to continuous professional development. I frequently lead staff development sessions for other elementary music teachers and present at workshops, sharing my insights and experiences to enhance music education in my community.
