Hello Chief Joseph families!  I am grateful to be teaching at Chief Joseph full time this year as the 4th and 5th grade choir teacher and the general music teacher for K-5.  I graduated in music from Idaho State University in 2000.  I taught private voice and piano lessons for over 20 years. My husband and I met at ISU and we have 5 children, one of which gradauted in 2020 from the same music program I graduated from when he was a toddler!  We moved to Boise in 2013 and love the area.  In 2017, since all of my children were full time in school, I decided to teach in the elementary schools.  I started out teaching K-5 General music at Joplin Elementary 3 days a week and added the wonderful opportunity to teach 4th and 5th grade choirs at Chief Joseph a year later.  This will be my fourth year at Chief Joseph and I get the chance to say now, "the only school I teach at!" I love all things music and enjoy getting to know the children and sharing my love of music with them.
