Community Involvement

​

Being a teacher is not confined to the four walls of my classroom. I take pride in extending the concept of a classroom to the greater community inviting guest artists and ensembles to campus, welcoming family members to actively participate in events such as Family Folk Dance night and "A Very SPECIALS Night", and organizing field trips to local performances. 

​

Serving on PTA has been a wonderful opportunity as it not only connects me directly with families and deepens relationships, but allows me the platform to advocate for our teachers and be a bridge in establishing a comprehensive school community. I have served on executive boards as Secretary and Vice President and have spent the last 3 years serving in the role of Teacher Liaison. In this role, I have organized events including as Winter Craft Night, Bingo Night, and Field Day. 

​

In 2019, I joined the OMEA District 12 board as the elementary representative to serve the music education community of Eugene/Springfield and surrounding areas. This role has involved increasing vertical collaboration between academic tiers, facilitating annual professional development workshops, and enhancing communication and available resources.
