Welcome to my site!

I am a passionate trumpet performer and music educator. Through my experience teaching in public schools, offering private trumpet lessons, and my experience leading organizations; I have developed a wide understanding of the pedagogy of education and refined my leadership skills.

I studied at the University of Kentucky from 2018-2023 under Dr. Jason Dovel. During this time, I earned a Master's degree in Music Performance (December 2023), Graduate Certificate in Baroque Trumpet (May 2023), Bachelor of Music in Music Performance (May 2022), and Bachelor of Music in Music Education (May 2022). At the University of Kentucky, I performed with the Wind Symphony, Symphony Band, Lab Band, Rep Band, and Symphony Orchestra. During my time at UK, I competed in the Graduate Solo and Large Ensemble divisions of the National Trumpet Competition and can be heard performing on the Andromeda: New Music for Trumpet Ensemble CD (2019), the John Hyde Treatise (1799) University of Kentucky Baroque Trumpet Ensemble CD (2020), and Labrynths: New Music for Trumpet Ensemble (2023).

Outside of the University of Kentucky, I have had the amazing opportunity to perform with local churches, the Lexington Brass Band, and an invited co-soloist with the Mantzaros Philharmonic in Corfu, Greece!

I am a member of the Kentucky Music Educators Association (KMEA), the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), International Trumpet Guild (ITG), and alumni of the Trumpet Guild at the University of Kentucky.

I have taught in a variety of environments ranging from Elementary Music, Middle School Band, High School Band, Percussion Ensemble, High School Choir, Marching Band, and Trumpet Ensemble.
