Thank you for coming to learn more about me!  I grew up in Mount Vernon, WA where I started taking classical piano at age 7 and joined the choir at age 10.  I began performing in musicals in middle school and when I was 14 I began to study vocal jazz & dabble with the guitar.  I was in the elite jazz choirs at my high school, at Skagit Valley College and finally at Washington State University (Go Cougs!) where I got my degree in accounting.

I lived in Seattle for 10 years, working as an accountant, where I did a LOT of karaoke (and even hosted a few times!) and was briefly in an adult jazz choir.  I also drove back up to MV to perform in a few musicals, most recently playing Maureen in RENT.

 

Then, I picked up everything and moved to Denver in fall of 2013 which has turned out to be the best thing for my music!  In fall of 2015, I discovered Strum & Sip, group guitar lessons at various bars around the city where you can socialize and learn at the same time.  I dove in to learning guitar head first and within 8 months I was on stage for my very first open mic performance.  I’ve pretty much been hooked ever since.  After about a year and a half of the lessons, I began to help teaching as a substitute occasionally.  I've also begun learning to play the Ukulele.  And, I have fallen back in love with the piano and have enjoyed what I’ve learned through guitar to make performing on the piano so much more fun!

Outside of music, I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, paddle boarding, boating, etc. I do freelance bookkeeping & accounting and I enjoy watching football and spending time with friends & family. Oh, and hanging out with my dog Jazzie!

However, I’m ready to fill my life with as much music and performing as possible.  While I do still enjoy crunching numbers here and there, my soul belongs to music and I can no longer ignore that spiritual tug.  I am also a member of a new local band call Rock Candy so follow me to find out where and when we perform.  Please contact me if you have any new musical opportunities for me!


Musically Yours,
