Growing up in a small town in Central Illinois, I always loved music. I’ve been in choir for as long as I can remember, so it made sense when I chose to pursue music further.

Starting at Illinois Central College in fall 2017, I studied music and was involved in Vocal Jazz, Chamber Singers, and Concert Choir. In fall 2019 I made the decision to transfer to Millikin University to earn my Bachelor of Music in Commercial Music.

During my time at Millikin, I had the opportunity to work as a Millitrax studio manager, recital crew manager, and a member of the Millikin Audio Recording Service (MARS). I was also involved in Sigma Alpha Iota, Pi Beta Phi, University Choir, BluBop Vocal Jazz, and Dissonance A Capella.

I had the opportunity to intern at Rock Solid Studio in Dunlap, Illinois, in the summer of 2022. I’ve also picked up rock climbing, joined the Peoria Area Civic Chorale, and adopted three adorable cats.

I made the decision to leave my job at Target in April of 2023. I will miss the coworkers I spent over five years working with, but I’m looking forward to finally having more time to focus on creating my own music. I recently started a new job as an audio production and voice instructor at Guitar Center, as well as a remote position working as a publicist for a musician based in California. I’ve begun collaborating more with other musicians in the area. “More Than You Can” by Risker, mixed by me, was released recently and more projects will come out in the near future.
