Welcome to my webpage!

 

 

I am the Chorus Teacher for Currituck County High School. This is my sixteenth year of teaching in the Currituck County School system. I received my B.A. in Musical Performance with a concentration in voice as well as my NC Licensure to Teach Music K-12 from Elizabeth City State University. I am a native of Currituck County and a graduate of CCHS Class of 1998. In 2004, I began my teaching career here where I was assigned to teach chorus for all of the secondary levels. This meant that I was the only Chorus Teacher in the system, teaching at Moyock Middle, Currituck Middle and Currituck High school. I'm proud to say that with the help of a few amazing colleagues along the way, we've grown to a full and viable program. Last school year the high school chorus totaled 135 students for the year. This was a significant increase from my starting year with only 25 students enrolled. I can remember a semester with a roster totaling 9 students. What a blessing it has been to see this program through the many transformations to what it has become. It is constantly changing for the better. For the past three consecutive years I've had students participate in, NC Honors Choir, the National Honor's Choir, and the NC All State Choral Festival as well as Music in the Parks competitions. For the past three years we've also participated in NC MPA (state festival) as well. It is my great privilege to work with the young men and women of Currituck County! We have a tremendous amount of talent here! I am looking forward to another successful school year here at CCHS and am excited to help each of you reach your maximum vocal potential!
