Why I Became A Musician
While I can't name a specific moment, music has been prevalent throughout the ebbs and flows of my life. The enduring joy that music brings to my life is what inspires me to teach and perform!
My Memorable Musical Experience
I think my most memorable musical moment would be making my professional debut with Opera Carolina. I had so much fun preparing and performing the role of Mercédès in Carmen!
A fun fact about me is...
I love sharks!
My advice to someone starting to learn music is...
Never stop practicing. Even when it feels like you aren't making progress, you are!
