Professional Devleopment
I have been involved with PMEA (Pennsylvania Music Educators Association) for many years now. These roles include serving as a judge for the PMEA District and, more recently, serving as a co-host for the PMEA District 10 Elementary Band and Orchestra Festival while at Nazareth Area School District.
​
An important part of being a music educator is staying up to date with what is going on in the music education community. I regularly attend music conferences including the Midwest Band and Orchestra Convention, PMEA Convention and the Percussive Arts Society to stay aware of new trends in the music world.
