About

I am a dedicated music educator currently teaching K-5 and PreK-8 students in Nashville, Tennessee. I design lesson plans based on Tennessee Music Standards, direct choral productions, and collaborate with fellow educators to provide inclusive and engaging music education to over 100 students. Passionate about fostering a safe and supportive learning environment, I adapt my teaching methods to cultural backgrounds and class sizes while maintaining open communication with students, parents, and staff.

With academic roots from Fisk University and Austin Peay State University, I hold a teaching license for Tennessee and continuously pursue professional development. Alongside teaching, I compose soundtracks and film scores, collaborate with Emmy-nominated composers, and contribute to esteemed ensembles such as the Fisk Jubilee Singers, bringing a rich blend of performance and education to my career.
