Right after university, I booked a gig as a lead vocal soloist with a cruise company. I spent the first few years of my professional, adult life traveling the world, being abroad for the first time ever. I was always a very independent person growing up, but this experience brought new meaning to being self-sufficient and 'grown up'; I learned so much about myself while I was abroad while also learning countless lessons, many of them hard-knock, about being a working professional and fending for yourself. I cherish the lessons I collected prior to moving to hard-hitting, fast-paced cities like NYC, where I lived for 7 years, and LA, where I’m currently based.

Navigating a post-pandemic world as a performer has proven to be a challenge that’s a daily practice in patience and perseverance. On my journey, I like to focus on expelling unnecessary negativity from my day-to-day thoughts, words, and actions. We have such a short time here to be focused on things that don't produce positivity and support for each other. I want to use my crafts to create positivity, connect with people, and alleviate their minds and souls, if even for a moment. A moment can be all someone needs; if I can provide that, that's all I need.
