What you do outside of band (school, work, fun): I am a high school English teacher. Outside of school, I am usually traveling or planning my next trip. I'm obsessed with the National Parks, and my goal is to visit all 63 parks. When I'm not traveling or at school, I enjoy reading, being with my family, and speed puzzling.

Favorite style of music (either to play or to listen to): I love to play any music from films and musicals, and my favorite music to listen to is anything Taylor Swift. I realize it's not a film or a musical, but if we could get the band arrangement for the Game of Thrones theme song, I would love to play that!
