California State University, Northridge
Bachelors of Arts, Cinema and Television Arts
Between vocal ensemble, jazz choir, and musical theatre, a majority of my time at SSHS was spent in the choir room and PAC. My involvement with the school and it's organizations inspired me throughout my educational and professional career. Today I work full-time as a freelance production coordinator - currently traveling around with FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance: Season 16". The journey has been surprising and exciting - thankfully I had the world's best support along the way.

California State University, Chico & Cal Baptist University
Bachelor of Arts in Music Education, Master's of Science in Education
Music is what brought me to school every day. I was shy, but when I was in music everyone was my family and I wanted to do my best for the group. I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a music teacher because I saw how other students’ lives changed for the better through the power of music. Now going into my fifth year of teaching, I am loving every moment with my students teaching band and strings at a middle school in Palmdale!
