I have been teaching in Volusia County for the last 17 years and am delighted to have been here at Port Orange Elementary for the last seven. After receiving my Bachelors in Music degree from Florida State University, I worked as a Registered Music Therapist in Indianapolis, Indiana. However, my heart was in Florida and so after moving back I obtained my Real Estate License. I have my teaching certification in Music K - 12 and also in Orff-Schulwerk level I. Currently, I serve as the treasurer for Volusia County Organization of Music Educators. And take an active part in the Volusia County Music Festival every year.
