My teaching style is INTERACTIVE: My specialties are the Orff approach, ukulele, guitar, keyboard, drumming, dancing/movement, technology, global perspectives, differentiation, community-wide events, and funding raising, especially through DonorsChoose.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I was nominated three times for teacher of the year at my school. I received two major foundation grants, over 150 DonorsChoose-funded projects, and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation $10,000 Innovation grant.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I was born and raised in Paris, Ky. My husband and I met at Butler University in Indianapolis.

My two daughters live in Denver and we love to visit them and their families.
