I am an educator, conductor, middle school band director, saxophonist, and singer. I obtained my Honours Bachelor of Music degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, specializing in education, in 2007 and my Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University in 2009. I started teaching Kindergarten to grade 8 vocal and instrumental music in 2009 with the Peel District School Board and have been teaching middle school concert band in the Waterloo Region District School Board since 2018.
Beyond teaching in schools I am the proud conductor of the Junior Hawks Beginning Band, and spend summers teaching/conducting the Beginning Band at Summer Music Society camp in the Southampton/Port Elgin area. In May 2025, I conducted the elementary band of the OBA's Honour Band event at Laurier. In 2023, I organized and conducted the middle school portion of the Waterloo Region Honour Band alongside Dr. Kira Omelchenko, Dr. LaToya Webb, Lauren Helmer, and Martin Lacoste at Laurier.
I have been arranging concert band music for the beginner level (grade 0.5-2) since 2016 and started composing original pieces for concert band in 2020; one being 'Hawks, Take Flight!' which was premiered in May, 2025 by the Junior Hawks Beginning Band.
