I was born and raised in Utah. I have played trombone since seventh grade. I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in music education, specializing in band instruments. Soon after graduating, I accepted a position at American Falls High School, teaching music to students from fourth grade to twelfth grade, including band, guitar, and piano. I taught there for 3 years before moving to Idaho Falls. I have also recently picked up teaching ukulele. I dearly love playing instruments and sharing music and find great joy in teaching!

I have been on stage performing since I was 7 years old singing in a large gospel church in San Jose, California. As I grew older, I took lessons for piano, keyboards, organ, drums, guitar and had written over 100 songs by the time I was 16. I received a scholarship to join the music program at Saint Mary’s College of California where I doubled majored in Music and Communication. While I was there I specifically studied piano, drums, and voice engaging these as my main focuses.
