I come from a family of creatives, one that encouraged me to explore the arts from an early age. I began playing the drums at five years old and quickly fell in love with the creative process. Through the years I picked up every instrument that I could, and every time the process of learning humbled me in a new way, but I grew from each experience. From the struggles of simply not understanding something, I learned patience and to seek out new ways of learning. As I stumbled, I found excitement as I worked harder to overcome those hurdles. I found pride in my accomplishments, knowing that I now had a new outlet.

I’ve learned a lot by exploring the world through music and art, experiencing the best and worst of times. These experiences have molded me, they influence my reactions, encourage my drive to better myself and those around me, and have encouraged my confidence to be an individual. I am thankful to have learned the value of experimentation, to not be fearful of failure, and to celebrate and praise other’s accomplishments. I take this into every aspect of my life and believe in the value this mindset and attitude brings to my creative and work spaces.
