I grew up and went to school mostly in Virginia.  I started playing the flute in 6th grade and never stopped!  I loved marching band and was drum major my senior year.  I even marched all 4 years of college :-)

I graduated from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. in 1986 with a bachelors degree in Instrumental Music Education.

In 1989 I got married to a band director I met at Region band!  He is now the director of bands and associate professor of music education at Trinity University.

I joined the faculty at Ed White M.S. in 1997. Before teaching at Ed White, I taught many different subjects in many different places.
