Hello Friend!
Hayley Bouressa has a career history in Music Education beginning in 2015. After leaving the classroom in 2022, she had to completely reevaluate her core identity (she is still working on that!). Hayley believes that creative people have the power to communicate "humanness" to the world. She finds joy in taking in and disseminating information. It's her way of making an impact. As she is discovering who she is, she is playing in a space where she can help others communicate themselves to the world as well.
Hayley has a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education and holds an active license in both Instrumental and Vocal Classroom Education. She gives voice and piano lessons out of her home, writes poetry, has podcast aspirations, is building her graphic design portfolio, and is currently taking clients for social media marketing.
Hayley loves a good creative project. You can send requests to dotthemonster@gmail.com
So where does the name Dot the Monster come from? Hayley and her sister had a particularly indelible female cat during their childhood who was affectionately nicknamed so. Dot the Monster is now an homage to those who are both endearing and fierce. The logo is a turtle of sorts because of the cat's fondness for a stuffed toy. The dinosaur and unicorn elements, as well as pink and purple, are for Hayley's two daughters and their wonderfully unique personalities.

And she made these websites.
She also took these photos and/or made these custom graphics.
So what's the reason for Hayley's interest in marketing? Hayley is drawn to creative endeavors. She loves to hear and tell stories that form connections; it's the basis of her first choice of career in Music Education. She also enjoys providing a service where one is needed. All of these interests combined has put her on a very exciting path toward social media and other digital marketing.
teachers pay teachers
So why is Hayley no longer in the classroom? A simple question with a complicated answer, and very much a part of her podcast aspirations. Hayley loves teaching (especially voice and music theory) and loves students but believes in her heart that the American Education System is in need of serious repair. For now, she has intentionally stepped away from the classroom. It has been, and continues to be, a grieving process. But she has already discovered many things about herself that she never knew!
original music
So what kind of music can Hayley write? She can compose or arrange for any instrument and can perform/record piano and voice. She wants to learn more about music production software but hasn't had a reason to, yet. She tends to listen to and take from folk, pop, and rock influences--though she has some experience in most genres--and her most favorite songs are both sad and loud. Her original lyrics tend to describe stories rather than leaning on imagery or metaphor.
