Location: Spring Hill, TN

Past Education Roles: Director of Choral and Vocal Activities (Grades 9-12), Elementary Music Teacher (Grades K-5)

Favorite thing about working at Possip: I love that Possip provides a space for everyone’s voice to be heard. After being apart of several school communities you understand that there may be a desire to hear everyone, but the reality is there isn’t always a space provided to share your thoughts and ideas. Possip makes this type of environment easily accessible and “Possiple” for all. (I couldn’t resist!!)
