Bio: I began teaching at Laurin Middle School in 1997. I have worked with so many talented student artists who have created 1000’s of amazing art pieces; placed and won ribbons in art contests throughout Oregon and Washington. I’ve spent 20 years leading Laurin’s Drill Team...marching behind The Band with pom- poms in decades of Hazel Dell and Junior Rose Parades. As time passed on, I have taught siblings, cousins, and now sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews of former students. (What a blessing in my life.) I look forward to the beautiful works of art we will create together this year.

Band Teacher
Band Teacher
Bio: I have a passion for music and teaching, and I am incredibly excited to share those two passions with the students at Laurin Middle School. Though this is my 1st year at Laurin Middle School, I am going into my 4th year of teaching, and two of those years were spent in Battle Ground. I graduated from the University of Idaho class of 2017, with a bachelors in Music Education, Music Performance, and a minor degree in Jazz Studies. I taught band at Pleasant Valley Middle School from 2017 to 2019. Due to the changes in the district and removal of Maple Grove Middle School, I had to leave the district following the spring of 2019. I taught band, choir, and general music at Linus Pauling Middle School in Corvallis, OR, during the academic year of 2019-2020. I am so grateful to return to BGPS, and I can’t wait to connect and create with students at Laurin Middle School. Aside from teaching, I consider myself to be an avid trumpet player and performer. I also love food, coffee, cooking, and going on culinary adventures. Some people eat to live, but I live to eat!
