I have enjoyed making music since I was a child, from children’s choir and youth praise band to college marching band and jazz combos. During my years at MSU, the Lord used music education courses and ministry opportunities to nurture in me a love and desire to teach and help enable others to use their voices and musical gifts in service to God. What a blessing it is to worship and glorify Christ through our music, together!
My heart is to see people transformed by the power of the Gospel, hungry for His Word and living lives of unceasing worship of Christ.
