What I Do
✨ For Students & Families:
I direct youth orchestras in private schools in the Greater Grand Forks area, and offer group classes in music theory, performance opportunities, and even teacher training for musically proficient teens.
I encourage students to perform in the real world — from markets and museums to backyards and business events.
I make music learning accessible, creative, and community-driven.
💡 For Nonprofits & Organizations:
I run workshops on strategy, evaluation, and communication.
I support nonprofits with marketing, websites, and messaging.
I facilitate monthly Nonprofit Think Tanks where leaders solve real challenges together.
I bring a creative lens to organizational growth and community engagement.

Country FM
My students also perform through the Backyard Concert Series and other public events all summer long.
