About

I am currently a junior studying Percussion Performance and Commercial Music under the direction of Dr. Shane Jones at Utah Valley University. Recently, I performed my junior recital, featuring works by Miki, Bach, Kopetzki, and more.

In my sophomore year I was one of the concerto competition winners of the 2023-2024 school year and performed Jennifer Higdon’s Percussion Concerto with the UVU Wind Symphony. I was also awarded the Dean’s Merit Award for Performance my sophomore year. This spring I was awarded the Tony Williams Award in the UVU Percussion Studio.

Since starting college I have gotten the opportunity to perform with the Utah Metropolitan Ballet in the Nutcracker and I have recorded with Big Idea Inc. for the Hogwart’s Legacy Overture which was recently nominated for a Grammy in 2024. Last year I was also given the opportunity to travel with Brighton High School to perform steel pan with them at the UMEA (Utah Music Educator’s Association) Conference in St. George.

Here is my repertoire list.
