Teaching upper school music at The Ecclesial School is the fruition of so many dreams and desires of mine. A native Florida flamingo, I grew up in Winter Park and attended The Geneva School, Winter Park High School, The University of Central Florida (B.S. in Elementary Ed), and worshiped at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church (PCA). Nineteen years into marriage with my wonderful husband Ben, we are the proud parents of our four amazing children: Maddie Mae (9th), Anna Belle (8th), Benjamin (5th), and Samuel (3rd). I have eight years of classroom teaching experience and Ben and I are one decade into planting Trinity Church of Lake Nona and two decades into church ministry together; during which I’ve led worship and youth, children’s, and women’s ministries in various contexts and people groups.

When not tending these blessings, this momma loves running and strength-training with kettlebells, Spanish moss hanging from sprawling oak trees, good coffee and books, writing poetry, holding babies, and capturing natural beauty through photography. The creative outlets of music, classical education, God’s church, and the art of knowing people are all formative shapers in my life — rooting me in the good, the true, and the beautiful — and what a joy and privilege it is to be an instrument of extending these tangible and intangible treasures to the precious lives of Ecclesial students. Soli Deo Gloria.
