I have always believed that any dream is possible.
When I was 7, I started creating my own films with the help of my family and friends and the use of my grandfather’s camcorder. When I was 8 years old, I began piano lessons and music joined film as a big part of my life.
I completed college in 2012 with a degree in music education and a minor in film. I began teaching PreK-8 music in 2013. That same year, I began directing church music including adult choir and instruments.
In 2017, my film SLIM won 3 awards. In 2018, an album I produced and directed with my church choir won a music award and was heard on various internet radio stations.
I received my Masters of Arts in Music and Music Education in 2018 from Columbia University and I completed my Masters of Education in Music and Music Education at Columbia in 2019. During my graduate work, I had the privilege of learning with many high-level composers, conductors, performers, and educators.
In 2020, my school music program received a major grant from Walmart Corporation. Later that year, I produced a Christmas album to support hunger relief.
I love what I do and I want to share that joy with you.
