She has been on staff with the Richfield Marching Spartans since 2012 and has been the Richfield High School band director since 2016.

Most recently, she founded the band program at Hiawatha Academies in South Minneapolis through extensive fundraising and community involvement so that all band students could participate regardless of their family’s financial situation.
