At the age of 7, I realized that I loved everything about the performing arts. I started with performance lessons which included singing, acting and getting comfortable being on stage. People often ask me if I am nervous to be on stage. I really am not nervous because I have been performing since I was young, I enjoy taking on roles that challenge me. While I have an upbeat personality , I embrace roles the are a departure for my natural qualities.
While I still keep a tight focus on my school work, I continue to train with voice, dance and acting lessons. I love to hang with my friends, water ski, sail, swim, tube, rock climb, roller blade, and record original compositions. I often find myself in my recording studio where I create songs, jingles and musical shorts using Logic Pro.
I am proud to have produced three albums which have raised nearly $40,000 for my favorite charities.
My long term aspirations? BROADWAY!

One of her passions is charitable projects.
One of my passions is charitable projects. In 2018, my first charity album raised more than $13,000 and was donated to local charities. I went on to release two more albums, “Gratitude” and “Big Screen and Broadway” with the same intentions. I recorded all albums with the specific intent that 100% of the money raised would go directly to my favorite charities. I was able to raise and donate nearly $40,000 through album sales, singing at events, restaurants, personal gatherings and even knocking on doors. I plan to continue to use music as my tool to raise money for the charitable causes that are near and dear to my heart.
