Story Elementary School

I grew up in a musical family where I learned the fundamentals of singing, playing instruments, performing, and enjoying all types of music experiences.  I have had the privilege to travel and share music in many other countries.  From these experiences I have developed a passion for history too!  I played flute in the Escadrille when I was a student at Allen High School. I earned a BS in Education with a specialization in Music from Baylor University.  I love learning so much that I went back to school as an adult and earned an MBA.  The last 2 summers I have been training in Kodaly levels 1 & 2, and I like to incorporate Orff in the classroom as well.  Musicals and music performances are also a sweet spot of fun.  I have taught music in multiple environments for the past 24 years, and this will be my 10th year in Allen ISD.

I am thrilled to be a Story Falcon.  My youngest two boys were Story Falcons and they have had a fun time teaching me the school song.  I can't wait to sing it with all my new students.  This really is going to be a great year!

Music connects us to all subjects we learn.  Music teaches literacy, math, science, history, and cultures, just to name a few.  It not only enriches life in invaluable ways, but research shows that it increases brain function which supports all areas of life!  I am looking forward to a fantastic year learning all things music with awesome Story Falcons! ♥
