Who Am I, Professionally

Over the past twelve years, I have worked constantly in the fields of music education and education management. My expertise has benefited students from Kindergarten through collegiate levels. My former business, Tucson LD Tutors, LLC, was credited with helping 98% of our clients have success, either by reaching the university they desired, or by being able to finish their degrees at the U of A. As an educator with extensive pedagogical training in online education, the skills that I have acquired and utilize in my daily work life are sought after by school districts, colleges, and private corporations. I am an expert in the D2L/Brightspace Learning Management System. Occasionally, you may see me around Southern Arizona performing with jazz bands or in the pit orchestra for stage productions.

As of 2017, I have joined the music faculty at the Center for the Arts at Pima Community College. Here is a link to my RateMyProfessor page.

As of 2019, I am working part time as a producer and on-air DJ at KXCI 91.3 FM here in Tucson, hosting Jazz Sundae.

I am a member of the Tucson chapter of the NAACP.

Who Am I, Personally

Originally from Los Angeles, I currently live in Tucson, Arizona with my husband, two dogs and a cat. We recently purchased our first home, which we are in the process of restoring with the assistance of the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation. I am an avid traveler and seasoned home cook with a passion for mid-century modern architectural aesthetic, New Zealand cricket, and learning new languages.
