I am a fan of CYT and have enjoyed watching my niblings perform in showcases and shows over the years. I was excited to move from spectator to teacher for the first time this spring, teaching the Intro to Handbells class and am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach our youngest theater kids this fall. I have previously worked with children and young adults in various educational settings and am excited to share my love of music and the arts with the next generation of performers. I've dabbled in various instruments and vocal groups over the years but always seem to be drawn back to playing English handbells, which I learned in my church’s children’s music program when I was a child. The gift of music I was given is one I am eager to pass on!
