Before teaching in Marion, I taught in the Sandusky City School and for various Catholic schools in Toledo, Maumee, Clyde and Bellevue. I started teaching in Marion in 1998. At first I taught elementary general music at Olney Elementary and was assistant high school orchestra director. Two years later, I was still at Olney, but became assistant choir director at the high school. Two years after that, I did solely elementary music in various schools in Marion. This year I am teaching at Benjamin Harrison all day. I tell people I have my dream job right now. I love what I do and I love the kids.
Along with singing, I also play piano, violin, clarinet, recorder, bassoon, and have tinkered with the banjo, french horn and guitar and balalaika. I used to teach private lessons in piano, voice and violin before my daughter was born. I also am a certified piano tuner and technician.
I have a husband, Scott, who works as a maintenance electrician iin Findlay. I also have a daughter, Samantha, who is 5 years old. She attends Harrison with me and is in kindergarten. We have a breed of cat called Sphynx. Her name is Jessie. She has NO HAIR!. We live a little north of Upper Sandusky way out in the country.
