Born and raised in the great state of Texas, I spent the majority of my life chasing after musical excellence. From a young age, I showed great talent for music. And as I progressed through my schooling I was often the person who would spend their free time in the music room either conversing with peers or honing my craft.
After graduating high school with an honors in music performance, I enrolled into University of North Texas' award winning school of music performance and education. There I spent the next five years deepening my understanding of music and polishing my skillsets in hopes of accomplishing my goal of becoming a music educator.
Everyone has to get their education from somewhere! For me that was UNT! I attended UNT for five years as a music education major with a focus in voice, where I became section leader for the UpFront! music educator choir, and eventually conducted my first choir.
In the summer of 2023 I attended MSU's Kodaly Educator Institute and completed Level 1 and 2 of my Kodaly certification.
