Fun Facts
Although my position requires strict professionalism, I have a wicked sense of humor and love a good joke!
I am fascinated by what the future holds in the realm of science and medicine and continually follow advancements in those areas.
I love to learn new and varied things. I am always up for new adventures and have committed myself to being a lifelong student, as we will never run out of new things to learn and explore!
About Me
I am a mother of two adult children, a former piano teacher, and a long-time Human Resources Manager for an oil and gas exploration company. I did not complete my Bachelor's degree until I was well into adulthood, which was to my advantage because I was a much better adult student than a "fresh out of high school" student.
Experience
I was a small start-up business owner for six years, a Human Resources Manager for eighteen years (and counting), and a private piano teacher for many years. I have trained numerous adults for a variety of positions through the years. Additionally, I have taught many children how to play piano, as well as some adults.
My strengths have always been in reading and writing. I am frequently sought out for my writing suggestions and proofreading skills. I have a love of social studies as well.
Approach
My primary approach to teaching was to foster a love of music first and foremost. If you love what you're doing or learning, you are more likely to work harder toward reaching your goals.
