About

Welcome to my site! I hope you enjoy your visit and that you reach out should you be curious about my art and if you would like to work together on your studies, writing, or music.

I am a musician, educator, and writer who has worked in those fields her whole adult life. You can read more about my path on each of the corresponding pages, but here is some information as well.

I would love to help support you in your own writing, your study of literature, history, English or Spanish, your pedagogy and curricular design, or in your music. I can work with you as your tutor, editor, instructional designer, writer, composer, producer, or performer.

I have written music, poetry, and prose for as long as I can remember. I have sung and played piano for decades and studied both music and English in college, receiving a Master’s degree in journalism after that.

For a few years and before transitioning to middle- and high school teaching at independent schools, I worked as a reporter, and I still freelance-write poetry, prose, and articles. I have taught English, Spanish, creative writing, journalism, yearbook, health, and various elective courses like “Myth, Magic, and Folklore in Literature” and “Heroes: Lady Heroes in Literature and Lore” in and for grades 7-12. I have advised students and overseen the school newspaper, magazine, yearbook, and senior book at several schools for nearly 15 years in the classroom and have tutored independently for nearly 20 years.

I love curricular design and do consulting work in that field. I have planned the teleology and day-to-day to each course I have taught and helped others with theirs.

Though I formally studied singing and piano and was a member of choirs and jazz bands for years, I am self-taught on the harp, guitar, mandolin, hand drum, production, mixing, mastering, and graphic design, all of which I do from home for the music I release, something I have done since lockdown 2020 and for 12 albums, two compilation albums, 20 extended plays, and more than 70 singles.

In addition to writing music for my own label, Kairos Records, I write music and prose for others (including podcasts) and sing and play for others’ projects as well.
