I teach at FPU because I love teaching music and helping students to become better musicians and performers. My time in the vocal studio and choral rehearsal room are well spent when students have breakthroughs and try hard things. I love to see students accomplish things they never thought were possible and create great music for the glory of God.

Additional Information

I love to participate in all things musical - I sing, play piano, and am trying to learn guitar again after a 20+ year hiatus. I am a licensed Zumba and STRONG Nation instructor - I love to dance and help others get their bodies moving! My family and I love the outdoors - hiking & camping - and are so grateful to live within two hours of three National Parks (Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite).
