I am a full time preschool music teacher in the Springfield Public Schools. My teaching focuses on giving students unique and meaningful musical experiences in a wide variety of genres/traditions, cultivating student leadership and creativity, and making music accessible to all students through technology and Universal Design for Learning.

As a PhD candidate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, my research is focused on AI from a human-centered perspective. I am beginning work on my dissertation this fall, where I will be observing elementary music teachers' use of generative artificial intelligence to make music lessons more accessible for all students.

I also design music applications for young students to explore electronic music concepts, practice musical skills in an accessible way, and just have fun. I am not an expert developer, this is just a fun hobby of mine, but I have found that students have been very receptive to my apps.
