I am a graduate of Western Michigan University where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, and Wayne State University where I obtained a Master's degree in Music Education. I taught general music and band in various Metro Detroit schools for 12 years before taking on different challenges in the corporate sector. In my corporate roles, I gained a lot of experience with Microsoft Excel (advanced formulas and macros) as well as adult learning, training, and coaching. I continue to enjoy teaching and coaching on various subjects.
