About Me

Throughout my life, I have had the great pleasure of pursuing music in many different capacities. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, where I also obtained my teaching certification. I studied Classical Guitar under Mr. Michael Moore, and French Horn under Dr. Kenneth Iyescas.

​​

Below is some more insight into my musical experience:

Classical Guitar

My first instrument I ever learned how to play was the electric guitar, when I started taking lessons in 2009. I learned different styles of rock, metal, and blues music, and my love for the instrument eventually led to transitioning to the classical guitar as a young teen.

​

Ever since starting classical guitar, it remained a hobby of mine. I would pick it up and play to help relieve stress, or learn a new song for fun. 

​

After entering University in 2019, I met Mr. Michael Moore, who rekindled my love for guitar. I performed my senior recital on classical guitar as a degree requirement, as well as frequently performing locally for different local businesses. I've even performed as a solo performer on KEDT Radio, encompassing much of South Texas.

French Horn

I started playing the French Horn the 2nd semester of my senior year of High School, early 2019. I was asked to play the French Horn for my high school's 2nd period band class, because they didn't have anyone to play in that period.

 

After playing for a short time, I discovered that I love playing the French Horn, the sounds, and the challenges it presents! I played until the end of my senior year, and vowed to keep playing.

 

When I decided I wanted to pursue music in college, I auditioned on the French Horn with Dr. Kenneth Iyescas, and I have been studying and bettering my musicianship on the French Horn ever since. I have been playing the French Horn for 5 years now, and I have performed in TAMUCC's Symphonic Winds ensemble, and performed with the TAMUCC Horn Choir at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention.

Trumpet

The instrument which I have the longest performative history with is the Trumpet. I started playing the trumpet when I joined my middle school band at 11 years old.

​

I've since played trumpet in various mediums for 10 years, including symphonic ensembles, orchestras, marching band, pep bands, and jazz bands. In high school, I performed trumpet solos at the UIL state level, was a re-founding member of the Texas Jazz Festival Student All-Star Jazz Band, and reached area level audition competitions. 

​

In college, I've kept up my trumpet playing, playing solo gigs, and touring the country as apart of the Islander Pep Band.
