If you are looking for a joyful and authentic music experience, I’m your girl! You can count on me for professionalism, strong communication, and flexibility.

As an extroverted musician and actress, I will engage with the crowd and lead people through the musical set with a smile on my face. I love making music that is about real life—I won’t shy away from the emotionally hard songs, engaging them with honesty.

As a multi-instrumentalist, I can switch between guitar, piano, and ukulele within a set depending on the song and crowd vibe. I take special requests (if I’ve heard the song, I can usually play it).

At the risk of sounding cliche, music is my life.

There has never been a time where I wasn’t singing around the house and making up my own music (my family can attest!). I started learning guitar in 7th grade and began formal vocal training as a freshman in high school (going on 9 years of training!). Since then, I’ve led 3 bands in high school and 3 bands in college on a professional level.

I’m now the Worship Director for a church in my hometown and founder of Hineni Performing Arts (a nonprofit music academy focused on teaching musical technique to kids and youth).

I am also the leader of a band, Letters Home (we are on GigSalad if y’all want a full band experience!)

- I come self-contained with my own mic, amp, cords, and instruments.

- I am comfortable with in-ear systems, wedges, or going completely acoustic.

- All instruments can plug into a PA system (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, & ukulele).
