Composer and most recently author of “Words from the Maestro,” is a musician of several stringed instruments, a Certified Activity Director, a Certified Music Practitioner, and a graduate of Magna Cum Laude with an AA in Music.

Her work experience consisted of being a music teacher, eighteen years in healthcare, and currently YMCA music within the Child Watch Program. At one time, you could find her driving around in her car with a big red nose dressed as a clown.

“Words from the Maestro” evolved from twenty-three years of living within the mountains and the shared experiences of her father living in Putnam County along the Kanawha River, which laid the foundation for the book.
