This is my twelfth year at Kiel and I am looking forward to another year of having the privilege of working with the 5th- 8th grade band students and the Learn To Play and Guitar classes for 7th & 8th grade students. I also run a Jazz Band for any interested Kiel Middle School student, as well as coaching students in Prose and Readers Theatre during our Forensics season. I absolutely love hearing the students on their instruments and all the changes they experience in these first few years of playing.
I grew up in Hartford, WI and eventually found my way north where I received my BA in Instrumental Music from Lakeland College, now Lakeland University. I reside within the city of Kiel with my husband, Larry and two of our three wonderful children, Abby & Theo. Our oldest, Emily, is pursing a degree in Elementary Education and Special Education, while Abigail is pursuing a degree in Vocal and General Music Education. Our youngest is in his senior year at Kiel and is already enlisted in the United Stated Navy! In my time away from school I enjoy performing with our local groups, the Kiel Municipal Band, the Kiel Area Theatre and providing music for my church, as well as "geeking out" over many sci-fi and fantasy movies, tv shows and book series, hanging out with my pug, Mouse, hosting foreign exchange students and having a donut at our local Sunrise Bakery! I've recently started running as well! Never too old to try something new :-)
As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me via any means you wish and don't forget about Skyward.
