Additional Info
I enjoy writing and have become heavily involved in it recently. I am a member of the Young Writers' Workshop, where I connect with other writers, share and edit work, and have others evaluate my writing. In addition, I have a blog, which includes writing at least once a month, sometimes once a week, and posting my photography with every article. Finally, my work in progress is a non-fiction book for teens about depression.

Performed in Harp Fantasia 2018 in Denver CO
Additional Info
Since age four, I have been immersed in music - attending music academies/workshops, performing in training orchestras and youth symphonies, and taking private music lessons from skilled artists. In addition to the harp, I play the piano, violin, guitar and mandolin. I mentor youth in a local Bluegrass music group, which performs in festivals and senior residences throughout the year.
I started playing the harp in 2011, and have been studying under one of Denver's best professional harpists - Eastman School of Music graduate Mary Keener, ever since.
From formal weddings to casual teas, I have performed in varied venues. One of the best experiences was playing in front of more than 1,000 people at a local conference two years in a row. I have played at weddings, parties, open houses, teas, senior living communities, and more. I provide music for senior residences in Denver on a regular basis, and actively engages the audience in each performance.
I am currently a member of the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, one of the top youth orchestras in the country. Also, I teach private music lessons in my studio at home. I plan to get a music degree and become a professional harpist.
Besides music, I love to ride Harley, the horse I lease, and enjoy writing on my blog, running, graphic design, and photography.
