I’ve been playing music since I was 12, when I started learning guitar and oboe. Since then I’ve tried to learn as many instruments and styles of music as possible. I am currently finishing up my Bachelors at California State University Fullerton where I am earning a degree in Music Education. After my schooling, I hope to become a band director for public schools so I can inspire kids to be musicians in the same way my directors inspired me.
