Music Librarian. Musicology Ph.D. Candidate. Performer. Encourager.

When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I confidently answered, “A tornado chaser!”

Eventually, I realized that music made me happier than extreme weather, so I pivoted…a lot. I often joke that I’ve lived multiple lives already, even as someone in my 30s. I worked as a singer, librarian, scholarly author, actress, waitress, ESL tutor, instructor of various topics, nutrition or wellness coach, paid student on a stipend, Shakespeare coach, burlesque and circus performer, and other things I’m forgetting.

Oh, and I’m also an ordained minister?

Throughout it all, though, I always came back to music. And that’s where I see my life continuing to flourish. Whether you need a scholar, a performer, a coach, or just someone with good vibes, I’ve got you!
