Casey graduated from Campbell County High School in Gillette, Wyoming. She has degrees in K-12 Vocal Music, K-12 Instrumental Music with an emphasis in Horn Performance, and K-12 General Music.

Casey chose to work in a school “to share music with kids and to help them have a better understanding of it through all aspects of life.”

She has traveled to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, Canada, and Ireland.

Some of her hobbies include, playing her horn, singing with her worship group at church, exercising, riding her bicycle and motorcycle.

Casey also plays horn in the Central Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra, but she doesn’t consider it a job! “It is wonderful to create music with other people as passionate as I am!”

Some of her goals are to read at least 12 books a year and to travel on a big trip once a year.

She lists her family as her greatest accomplishment.

Something that you may not know about her is that she has her own Harley Motorcycle – A Softail Deluxe!

On weekends she enjoys family fun. “We love to be outdoors, but also like to enjoy a movie and games together.”

She used to coach high school track.

Her favorite sports team is the Chicago Cubs. She cannot choose just one favorite type of music! Her favorite book is The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks. Her favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.

Thank you Casey for all that you do!
