Summary

Reliable and energetic individual with a deep passion for music and a strong commitment to teamwork. Possessing foundational knowledge in musical rhythm, I have developed technical skills in percussion instrumentation for each section. Expertise lies in fostering a cohesive and dynamic drumline that consistently elevates performances. Over 5 years of experience in leadership roles, including Snare Captain since 8th grade, Drumline Captain since 10th grade, and Head Drum Major for the CVHS Marching Band during senior year. Honed ability to lead and inspire others. During junior year, taught at CMA and achieved 6th place out of 11th in competition despite limited practice time. As Captain of Winter Drumline senior year, took on responsibility of teaching and guiding fellow members, providing one-on-one support in music rhythms, choreography, practice schedules, and addressing any student needs within the drumline. Our hard work paid off when we medaled at championships for the first time since 2016. Passionate about teaching and inspiring others to find a passion for music. Excited about the potential for this school to achieve even greater success than when I was here, including top 3 finishes at every competition and a 1st place finish.
