I have been a Music Teacher in the Arlington Central School District since 2009. I received my Bachelor of Music Education Degree from SUNY Fredonia, and my Masters of Music Education Degree from Boston University. This year, I am teaching two sections of 8th Grade Band, 8th grade lessons, and will be directing Union Vale Middle School's Jazz Band II. In addition to teaching at Arlington, I am the Bass Trombonist of the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra and the New York Wind Symphony. When I am not teaching or performing I very much enjoy gardening, skiing (alpine & cross country), hiking, boating, tennis, going to the gym, reading, cooking/baking, and going on adventures around the country and world.
