Nevaeh Bayne-Gariepy

I am an educator who values the importance of developing community through music. Throughout years as a musician I have been a part of a myriad of ensembles making me uniquely prepared to step into any position. I am teachable and I love learning from my fellow teachers as well as from my students. I am looking forward to growing as an educator with your program.
