Off of my Grandfather's piano bench, through the music classrooms and research libraries at the Hartt School of Music and Boston University College of Fine Arts into your corner of the world, I bring a life-long passion for music, people, and writing to spark your favorite kid's creativity for music composition. Originally a New Jersey girl, Austin, Texas is now home to my family of 5. People, music and reading are my biggest passions. My work brings music and reading together in a kind of self-expression that our hurting world needs.I was born and raised in Statesboro, Georgia. After receiving a BFA degree in painting and drawing from the University of Georgia, I attended the University of Texas for graduate school. I earned a MFA degree in 2009 in studio art. I am currently an art teacher at Eanes Elementary School in Austin, Texas. I live with my wife, Tara, and my twin sons, Theo and Louie. Other than hanging out with my family, I love to make art, write music, and be outside in my spare time.I'm a native of Austin, TX. After receiving my bachelor's degree in Journalism with emphasis in Magazine Editing and two minors in Religious Studies and Multicultural Studies from The University of Missouri, I moved back to Austin and got my certification for teaching.
