I graduated from Berklee College of Music and majored in Music Business and songwriting. I received my Music Ed certification in 2019 and this is my second year teaching at North Hi Mount. What I love about teaching is that I learn from my students and they help me grow in my own musicianship.

My goals for my music students is to be inspired by music concepts and to discover their creative potential. 

Favorite Music- Indie, jazz, rock, film & anime music
I play oboe, saxophone, piano, guitar and sing. I also love to write songs
Hobbies- traveling, hiking, yoga, reading, arts & crafts

I have been teaching for 15 years and am so excited to be back as an Eager Eagle as the art teacher. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Fine Arts degree. I enjoyed living in the piney woods, but raced back to Fort Worth to start by career.

My hobbies include spending time with my family at the lake. We enjoy being out on the boat. When I need some inside time I enjoy painting. I love creating art on my own and with my children. I am not a native Texan, I am originally from Louisiana. I go back and visit my family as much as possible.

I am super thrilled to be part of the NHM team. I can't wait to make art with the students of North Hi Mount.
