I am a hard-working, polite, friendly, and flexible team player who thrives in fast-paced environments. As a student at Berklee College of Music, I am passionate about learning and growth, eager to contribute to team and company success in various roles. I am highly driven, customer service oriented, and ready to put in one hundred percent effort in everything I do. My musical journey began at age 11 with the banjo and has grown through extensive experience performing in bands and teaching music. I have played many different styles including bluegrass, reggae, and psychedelic rock, and have been fortunate to learn from masters like Greg Liszt and Bruce Molsky. Outside of music, I have diverse work experience in food service, tutoring, childcare, and festival customer service. I believe deeply in cooperation and creating positive work environments wherever I go.
