I have been teaching music lessons for 23 years and absolutely love inspiring students on their instrument. I attended Calvin University in Grand Rapids Michigan where I studied music and geology and graduated in 2001. Soon after graduating I married my husband, Andrew, and moved to Anthem, Arizona. We since have been blessed with three children. Over the years I have participated in orchestras, church music groups, small ensemble groups, assisted youth orchestra and band programs, recording studio sessions, performed concertos, and solo performances for numerous different events. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, and exploring Arizona's geology.
