2009-2010 Residency Teaching at Montclair Elementary, 1st Grade
I am 35 and a Denver, Colorado native. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Bachelor’s of Music), the University of Michigan, and Southern Illinois University (Master’s degree in Music Performance). I am an accomplished teacher, soloist, and orchestral musician. My musical travels have spanned the United States, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Canada, and Australia.
I was formerly on staff at Southern Illinois University and have performed for college and grade school classrooms, as well as corporate firms across the United States. I held principal oboe positions with the Orquesta de Sinaloa de las Artes in Culiacan, Mexico as well as the New York Repertory Orchestra, Harlem Symphony Orchestra, and the Greenwich Village Orchestra.
I particularly enjoyed traveling to small pueblos in Mexico performing and teaching classical music to people who had never been exposed to it. I continue to teach private lessons for flute and oboe in the Denver Metro Area. I live in northeast Denver with my 3-1/2 year old daughter. I grew up in Denver Public Schools and am happy to be learning and teaching in the DPS system.
