Personal
Statement:

Over the course of my career, the last several years in particular, I have developed and nurtured a renewed sense of
confidence as a teacher, a director of both music and theater, and as a musician. In recent months I have begun feeling
the desire to expand my music directing to include instrumental ensembles as well as vocal ensembles. I am seeking a
school with a vibrant performing arts program, where I can engage with students and share in their journey in music,
or drama, or perhaps both.
