I am a music instructor at the University of Arkansas-Monticello. I attend a progressive---in my opinion--- missionary baptist church (Pauline Baptist Church) in the city of Monticello, AR, where I serve as a member of the choir and as handbell director. Music definitely drives my life, especially from the standpoint of leading an ensemble when I am fortunate enough to get the chance. I love being around my students at the university. They inspire me in each of their own unique ways everyday.
