Work History

Active in School and Church Choir

PHS
Pikeville, KY
08.2020 - 05.2024
  • Since and early age, I have been very active in my school's choir program and my churches worship band and choir.
  • With high school choir, that experience taught me how to work with others and blend as a group. It also was taught by my amazing voice teacher Barbara Kelley, who has taught me almost everything I know and love about music.
  • I am also very active in church and have brought that with me to Lexington as I am a scholarship singer at MAxwell Street Presbyterian Church

All State Musician

KMEA

  • I have been an All-State Vocalist for eight years, and I have made it every time I tried out from 5th grade until senior year.
  • During my junior and senior years at All-State, I was a soloist.
  • Being in these choirs and working with such talented instructors as Dr. Redding and many others have shaped me into the vocalist I am today.

Governers School for the Arts

GSA
Lexington, KY
06.2023 - 07.2023
  • In 2023, I was accepted into the Governors School for the Arts program with a focus in Vocal Music.
  • I got the opportunity to work under some of the most talented musicians and vocalists that I had ever met, such as Dr. A.T., Dr. Benningfield, and Ms. Jessica Bayne.
  • In these three weeks, I was pushed to my limits vocally and mentally. But it was the most rewarding experience and I'm so thankful for the connections and knowledge that I gained from GSA
