At UNI, I was involved in the Panther Marching Band, Symphonic Band, West African Drum Ensemble, Taiko Japanese drumming and many other ensembles. My goal is not to make everybody a professional musician, but to expand their knowledge in different genres and show them ways to create and appreciate music. Read More

I believe that music can be an excellent outlet and I want to give my students the tools to express themselves, whatever that looks like. Read More
