I'm a 2013 graduate from Norris high school, and a 2017 alumnus from Nebraska Wesleyan University. I've been a participant and a director of choirs, show choirs, musicals, one act plays, general music courses, and much more. My primary music instructors have included: Wes Hansmeyer, Boyd Bacon, and Dr. William Wyman. I'm very passionate about music education, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with students in Lincoln Public Schools. In order to be the best teacher possible for my students I hope to continue my education by pursuing a Masters, and beyond, in music education. I also aspire to spend the entirety of my career as a music educator in my home state of Nebraska.
