"Choir and group singing is my passion. I truly believe that everyone should feel encouraged and free to use their voices as an expressive tool and to explore what they think and feel about the world around them. My classroom motto is I would rather you sing wrong notes loud and proud than right notes wimpy! I am so excited to get to know you all and your voices and make joyful music together."

Fun Fact #1 — I do a lot of reading, art, and fiber crafts.

Fun Fact #2 — I am of Native Alaskan descent, which is where my last name comes from! Amaroq means wolf. My grandfather was born and raised in Nome, Alaska.

Fun Fact #3 — I currently have four cats: my cat is Figaro, my husband's cat is Tippy Tom, and we are taking care of a bonded pair of senior cats, Mama Toe Beans and her daughter Goose.

I choose to work at NOVA because I am an adult and teacher who is like the students that we serve. I am very excited to be in an environment that is considerate of all types of learners and individuals where we can all flourish together.
