CAREER GOAL:
Music is an art and an outlet
for expression. I would like to continue my own
development and expression within music, as well as build
and maintain a program that fosters expresssion in
students through the various musical mediums (traditional
and technological). My students will be able to use their
abilities throughout their lives to enrich their
experiences and express themselves.
