She is currently a music teacher at AMPED (Academy of music performance and education) and loves each and every one of her students. Community theater vocal direction has also been part of her music directing journey. She’s vocal directed for Cedar Street Theater and Palmdale Repertory Theater, for a handful of shows in the last five years. When she’s not doing the musical directing she might be found singing original music with her band or performing on stage for a theatrical production.
