I’m originally from a small town about an hour and a half away from Nashville, TN. Growing up with a musical mother in rural Tennessee really gave me a sense of how important music is when building community. Music has the power to bring people together, no matter what race, gender, sexual orientation, neurotype, etc. This has been the driving force behind why I have decided to become a vocalist, performer and teacher. For me, there is nothing more magical than watching people bond over a shared love of music.

I graduated from Austin Peay State University in 2017 with a Masters in Music, specializing in Opera Performance. Since then, I have had the opportunity to travel and perform around North America and Europe. During this time, I have found that my passions lie more in helping others foster their own musical passions.

Now that I live in Montreal, one of my life’s goals is to use the music that inspired me in my youth to help bring communities together. One of my core beliefs is that every person has a story to share, and music can be the key to helping us find our own unique ways of sharing that story. In lessons with me, I use studied pedagogical techniques, aimed for both neurotypical and neurodiverse learners, in order to build a foundation based on the natural expressions of our unique instruments.
