I graduated in 2002 from UW-Milwaukee with a BFA in K-12 Instrumental Music Education with a minor in French Horn Performance. While there, I studied with William Barnewitz (1st Horn with the MSO at the time) and Greg Flint.

I have been teaching French Horn privately either from a store studio, school, my home, or student's home since 2002. In 2002, I had an internship as an assistant band director with Slinger Middle School (6-8 grade) and Slinger High School (9-12 grade). From 2002-2003, I was the band director for Oakfield Middle School (6-8 grades) and Oakfield High School (9-12 grades). From 2003-2005, I was the band director at St. Kilian School (5-8 grades) in Hartford. I currently teach lessons at White House of Music. My students regularly earn gold medals for their solo performances at WSMA Solo & Ensemble festivals and are accepted by MYSO, State Honors Band, and other organizations when they have auditioned. My students are leaders in their sections and their bands or orchestras.

I have been a member of the Moraine Symphonic Band since 2003, the Lakeshore Symphonic Band (2004), and the Fond du Lac Symphonic Band (2002). I participated in the Horn Festival at UW-Whitewater in 2007.
