For over 15 years, the soulful melodies of the saxophone have been my musical voice. My journey began at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I delved into Jazz Studies, honing my skills and deepening my understanding of this captivating genre. In addition to playing, I have dedicated 5 years to private teaching, sharing my passion and knowledge with eager learners. Through the years, I've had the privilege to play and arrange music for an array of incredible artists including Becca Stevens, Alexa Tarentino, Camille Thurman, The Four Tops, and Reliably Bad. My saxophone has resonated in harmony with various orchestras, leaving a musical imprint wherever I go. Music isn't just a part of me; it's a journey that I continue to embrace, enriching lives with the beautiful strains of the saxophone.
