Summary

I've taught English, Writing, and Digital Media at the undergraduate level, but the most valuable experience I possess is as a music teacher to kids 3 - 10 years old for the past 8 years. I know the challenges and triumphs of long-distance learning and integrating technology into lesson planning and delivery and understand how to take advantage of these nuances to bring the classroom to life.
