Assistant Orchestra Director

From Mrs. Quin - My name is Emily Quin and next year will be my 9th year in the classroom, and second year in Prosper ISD! I have been married for 11 years to my husband, Travis who teaches Bible to HS students. We have two girls who are 6 and 3 years old, Ava and Gracie, with one doggie named Roxanne. I started Violin in fourth grade, and haven't stopped loving strings since then! I love the beach and fiddle music. In my free time, I like to read, take nature walks, listen to records, and drink iced coffee! I cannot wait to make exciting music next year and meet each of the Roger’s Orchestra families soon!
