Bio:
This is my first year in the Rose Hill School District and I love it here! I teach Vocal Music o the following classes: 5th grade from Mrs. Eaton, Mrs Slade and Mrs Townson's classes. 4th Grade from Mrs. Espeland, Mrs. Yohe and Mrs. Pugh; 3rd Grades from Ms. Chapman, Mrs. Coleman, Ms. St. Clair and Mrs. Covey classes; 2nd Grades from Mrs. Helmke, Ms. Sack and Ms. Lacy's classes; 1st Grades from Mrs. Feigl, Ms. Cox and Mrs. Cooper & Mrs. Nussbaum's classes; and Kindergarten from Ms. Adams, Miss Freeman and Mrs. Burns' classes.

For the previous three years I taught as a Voice Professor at Bethany College, Friends University, Southwestern College, and Wichita State University. While I enjoyed collegiate teaching, I am very happy to be back at the elementary level. My first elementary music teaching position was in Blue Valley School District at Leawood Elementary.

My husband is also a teacher. His name is Cory and he teaches History and coaches Cross Country and Track at Bishop Caroll Catholic High School. We live in Wichita with our cat, Hissy and two Labrador puppies, Sam and Susannah.
