I was born and raised in Madison, WI. I loved growing up there, working on the nearby farms during the summers. I have two brothers, and a sister. My nieces and nephew are the loves of my life. Music is an important part of my life. I play the clarinet, bass clarinet, piano, and harp. I also sing with several local choirs. I like to bring songs into lessons when I can. I graduated from Iowa State University….Go Cyclones! After school, I taught in San Jose, CA for about 10 years before coming to Idaho. In California, I earned my National Board Certification and Master’s Degree. I love teaching here at Morley Nelson! It is such a joy to watch your children grow and learn each year.
