I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember.

Tell us about your time at The bART.

The bART has helped me to expand my vocal studies and has given me unforgettable performance experience.

Where will you be going from here?

I will be attending Oklahoma State University in the fall and studying psychology. I hope to eventually get my degree as a licensed marriage and family therapist with a specialization in EMDR and I want to help teens and young adults with childhood trauma. I plan on still creating music and performing in college.
