I'm currently studying Music at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a focus in Composition and Music Technology. I've been playing piano for many years, guitar for several years, ukulele for five years, and drums for two years. I have experience in Logic Pro and Ableton Live, and I've been in multiple bands and groups. I've learned how to think critically in tough situations and how to stay calm under pressure while handling live performances and productions. This experience has taught me how to be a better part of society, solve problems before giving up, and manage complex tasks like stage setups, sound and lighting for live events. As a high-school musician and Eagle Scout, I value teamwork and resilience and enjoy helping others succeed.
