I grew up in Champlin, MN. I was baptized here at Servant of Christ and have many connections to this church ever since. I graduated from Winona State University with a bachelor’s degrees in Music Performance and Instrumental Music Education, along with a jazz minor. I taught elementary music and directed the church choir at Faith Lutheran for a few years in Bagley, MN. I am currently a toddler teacher at Kindercare, a private lesson teacher at Northern Starz, and involved with Bemidji MusiCamp that meets every summer. My hobbies include puzzles, golfing, catching pokémon, and spending time with my pet bunny.
