MY STORY
"I started my journey with music at a very early age. I have been singing, playing piano, and coming up with my own compositions since I can remember. I started out mostly composing piano pieces. At the age of 6, I composed my first complete piece that I later named "Forest's Lull". I've always have a deep passion for performing and a mind that constantly wants to create... whether it be music, funny scenarios, or even stand-up comedy that I'll never perform. Growing up I knew that I wanted to pursue performance, but I didn't see it as a realistic option. It wasn't until I someone planted the seed that I could pursue opera that I started looking into college. Once I was given that nudge, that chance.... I went for it with everything I had. Thanks to all those people in my life who have looked behind them and extended their hands, I was able to do that and so much more!
Due to the many extended hands and blessings I have received along this crazy journey I now have a career goal extends beyond myself. My goal in my career is not only to grow and expand in my own passion, but to share it with others. I want my work to be equally full of community and authenticity as it is dedication and mastery. The reason why I am so committed to what I do is because I know the world needs art. Especially now. The world needs the expression of stories. If I can reach one person by telling a story that touches their heart, everything I have done is proven worth. Whether I am on stage or off stage, it is important that I authentically represent human emotion and help people realize they are not alone."
