About
Music has always been closely intertwined with my life. Whether that was singing show tunes at a young age, to starting to write songs in high school, to Co-Chairing my university's first and second Leading Women in Audio Conference; I have always known music would be an essential part of my life. I recently graduated from Elon University with a BS in Music Production and Recording Arts and am excited for how music has and will become my career path.
