- Summary
My experience is a kaleidoscope of dance, music, and media. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Advertising and Public Relations from the University of Central Florida and a degree in Music from Rollins College. My skills have been contributed to organizations such as the Arts & Cultural Alliance and the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park. I am currently an Associate Course Director of Music Theory at Full Sail University. My primary instrument is piano, though I have occasionally been seen playing the flute and acoustic guitar, and was once a competitive dancer.
When I am not teaching, composing, or performing, I can be found playing fetch with Otto, my eight-pound Shih Tzu, practicing yoga, taking lomographs, diving into a new book, dancing, or doodling. I love palindromes, Moleskine journals, inspiring documentaries, and changing the world. I also believe in practicing productive procrastination. I ultimately seek to become an influential creative activist in education and a more happily imperfect composer and performer.
This year, I aspire to fail harder.
