Ever since the spark lit within me, I never missed an opportunity to teach others about music. I substitute conducted my high school orchestra as a student, I’ve taught and taken percussion ensembles to OMEA state contest, Organized and conducted an independent orchestral & choir joint ensemble, and designed, taught, and performed a 3 hour high school percussion show with 22 performers. I’m always learning and improving to bring the best techniques and cutting edge theory to my students. I’ve performed in the Northeast Regional Orchestra (NERO), performed with the Strongsville Community Band, and substituted for the Patriot’s Band. Currently, I’m a music education major at Baldwin Wallace University, performing with their wind ensemble, marching band, jazz band, and percussion ensemble. I’m also teaching the Open Door Christian School drumline.
