Hey you! Thanks for visiting my page and even going so far as to learn who I am.

For some context, I have set out on a quest to venture into dismantling how I have mostly chosen to perceive myself as for most of my life: not a "real" musician. I am a high school teacher by day, and enjoy it so, so much (Teacher and Mentor of the Year here!); however, I have used that as a reason not to take myself seriously, thus I have stunted my own creativity and growth out of the fear that I could not succeed as a musician — let alone be seen as one. In mid 2025, I came to realize that I cannot care anymore about whatever "success" means or what others think. I'm finally letting my creativity flow without judgement and perfectionism commanding my every move — and it turns out that I'm really enjoying it, despite how scary it can be. I’ve learned to lean into the things that scare me, and I’ve become accustomed to living in the discomfort of choosing growth.

I am a musician. I am a songwriter that now has the courage to follow a dream that has always been kept neatly tucked in a dark closet, only taken out when nobody was looking. I don't want to limit the one dream I have always had in my heart since I can remember having dreams at all, as I don’t want anyone to do. We’re following our hearts, guys. Join me on my journey.
