I am building toward a multi-faceted music career. I aim to be an elementary school music teacher, a piano technician, a piano teacher, and a piano performer. I am currently a senior at the University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music majoring in Music Education. I earned an Associate of Science Degree with High Honors in Music from Salt Lake Community College. I am an accounting assistant at the Piano Gallery Superstore in Murray, Utah. I sell music books and software for them on my eBay store called "Music Book Liquidators". I also help with annual inventory, document shredding, and store tidiness.

I am a published author, having presented a paper where I was lead author called "Community College Engineering and Music Students Create User-Friendly Music Theory Application for Education and Composition," June 2023, American Society for Engineering Education, Baltimore, Maryland. I am a member of the National Association for Music Educators and the national Piano Technicians Guild. I am a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts of Utah, where I earned my Gold Award for establishing a piano lesson system in a small Spanish-speaking community in southern Arizona.
