About Me

I’m a Sagittarius who really does enjoy traveling and exploring new places. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, going on outdoor runs, thrifting, eating out, gardening, filming and creating videos, and writing songs. I believe life is better when you meet new people and try new experiences and I constantly put myself in situations where I get to do that.

Future aspirations

I hope to teach music at a collegiate level and continue to pursue academic research within areas of ethnomusicology and music education.

Growing up, I never occupied a female-centric space and had many healthy relationships within it. I really wanted to experience real sisterhood somewhere so I can authentically recreate it within my future treble choirs. Thankfully, aKDPhi has been able to show me what true sisterhood is.
