Introduction

Hello St Joseph’s Families,

Music has always been a central part of my life, and I am thrilled to share that passion with the students at St. Joseph's. With a Bachelor's degree in music from Western Oregon University and active participation in the Festival Choral Oregon choir, I have witnessed firsthand the powerful role music can play in education and faith.

Coming from a large Catholic family, I've always valued the deep connection between faith and the arts. I hope to inspire my students to explore the beauty of music as a way to glorify God and enrich their spiritual lives. My goal is to create an environment where each child can discover their unique musical gifts and develop a lifelong love of music.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children, watching Star Wars (not the prequels), collecting ukuleles, playing piano, singing Baby Shark to the tune of Queen of the Night, and eating dark chocolate.
