I have been teaching Orchestra at First Colony Middle School since the fall of 2000.  Before joining the FCMS faculty I taught for 3 years at a private school in Fort Worth, Texas, where I had string classes with grades 1-12.  

 
Currently I enjoy playing violin in the Houston Sinfonietta and singing alto in the Houston Masterworks Chorus, and I actively continue my music education through my participation in the annual Texas Music Educators Assocation and Texas Orchestra Directors Association conventions.
 
As a musician I have been able to travel extensively, including a tour in Spain with the Kansas City Youth Symphony, singing in Carnegie Hall with the New York Symphony Pops, and most recently singing concerts in Italy with the Houston Masterworks Chorus.
