READING COACH

I love what I do! I am a special music educator at Karen M. Siegel Academy. I work with 3-22 year old mild to severely disabled students. I teach, sing, and make music with all my students all day long. I think it is a pretty amazing job! I love coming to my job and inspiring my students to be creative and to be their best selves. I am not only teaching my students of musical concepts but also skills that they need to take on the world one day. I am very grateful that I was able to find this position here at PCPS. I am looking forward to meeting you soon!
