I received my Bachelor's of Music in Music Performance from DePauw University on the flute, and also received a minor in jazz studies on the saxophone.

I have studied flute, saxophone, and piano privately for over 20 years.  I have studied piano with Carolyn Cassidy and Amanda Thompson at DePauw University.  I have studied flute under Rebecca Price-Arrensen (Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra), Karen Moratz (Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Butler University), Anne Reynolds (Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, DePauw University), and Barbara Kallaur (Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Indiana University).  I have studied saxophone under Ned Boyd (Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra) and Randy Salman (Belusi-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra, DePauw University). 

I have been playing the flute and saxophone for over 20 years, although flute is my main instrument.  I have performed in the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra, Lafayette Citizen's Band, and Lafayette Flute Choir, all in Lafayette, Indiana.  I have played with the Heartland Community Flute Choir in Omaha, Nebraska.  I currently reside in Castle Rock, Colorado, and I perform regularly in churches and at weddings, and I play with the Pike's Peak Flute Choir and the Canyon Winds Band, both out of Colorado Springs.  While at DePauw I played with the univeristy band, orchestra, jazz band, and flute choir.  In high school I performed in marching band, concert band, jazz band, pep band, and the New World Youth Symphony Orchestra in Indianapolis.  I also performed in All-State Band, All-State Marching Band, and All-State Orchestra.

I have taught private lessons myself starting in high school and continuing through college.  After receiving my degree from DePauw, I started a private music studio in Lafayette, Indiana, where I had 25-30 private students.  I also taught regular sectional work and marching band work at local middle schools and high schools.  I was on staff at Sunny Side Middle School, Pioneer High School, Harrison High School, and Lafayette Jefferson High School- all in the the north central Indiana area.  Since moving to Colorado, I have taught privately from my home as well as worked for 3 years at Lucci Music in Colorado Springs.  At Lucci, I taught flute, piano, saxophone, and clarinet to students of all ages.  I am currently focusing solely on teaching from home to make the most impact, although I do help some with sectional work at Chatfield High School and Deer Creek Middle School in Littleton, Colorado.
