My passion for percussion was birthed on my grandma's kitchen floor while "playing an awesome jam" on her pots and pans as an infant! I started keyboard lessons in kindergarten,  and percussion by third grade. I performed in band and choir throughout middle school and high school, belonged to an awesome garage band, and graduated with my Bachelor of Music Performance and Composition from The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2018.  I am currently in the Masters Program at UNM.  

During the last seven years, I have been a private music instructor, and have also taught students throughout New Mexico at middle and high schools.
