I am thrilled to be your new band director! I hold a degree in Music Education from South Dakota State University. Since graduating, I have pursued graduate studies in Music Theory at the University of Iowa and have taught elementary and middle school music and band in both Catholic and public school settings.
In our band room, I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow as musicians and students. Whether it’s preparing for honor bands, school liturgies, or concerts, I encourage students to work hard, support one another, and take pride in the music we make together.
