In 2014, she joined Mrs. Garza at Lopez Middle School, where she conducts the Concert and Symphonic Bands, assists with the Honors Band, and teaches the beginning brass classes.

Mrs. Powell attended the University of North Texas where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in Music Education and Euphonium Performance. While there, she studied euphonium under Dr. Brian Bowman and was a finalist in both the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium Festival and The International Tuba and Euphonium Association’s Solo Competition. In addition, she was a member of the Green Brigade Marching Band and the North Texas Wind Symphony, conducted by Professor Eugene Corporon.
