In June, ’22, after 36 years as a teacher for the School District of Haverford Township, I decided to retire. My schedule included teaching classroom music at Haverford Middle School in addition to directing the orchestras at Haverford Middle School and Haverford High School and serving a co-director of the music department.


I am honored to now be an adjunct faculty member at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, and University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA

The Haverford High School Symphony Orchestra is comprised of 100+ members, performing standard orchestral repertoire as well as music from movies, shows, and other genres. The Haverford High School Symphony Orchestra has performed in many Pennsylvania Music Educators Association annual state conventions. The orchestra also participated in a “Side by Side” rehearsal and performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
