I received my Bachelors of Music Education from West Texas A&M in 2005, and I have been teaching band at Tejeda since 2006! I am from the small town of La Vernia, about forty-five minutes southeast of Tejeda.  My high school band director was the one that inspired me to become a band director myself, so that I could also instill a love of making music in my students.  The ability to make music is a gift that I hope my students realize they can carry with them for a lifetime.  

I love this middle school age and seeing their growth from 6th grade through 8th. We are always working to build a positive and welcoming culture in our band hall! 

When not teaching band, I love to spend time with my husband and daughter.  We are always planning our next trip to Disney!
