I am a variety entertainer so I booked a variety of events. I perform at corporate events, renaissance festivals, library programming, and college programs.

One of the best investments I made as a creative was my camera. I’m always on the go so it allows me to capture moments in my life that are meaningful to me. I also utilize some of those moments and pair them with my music to give a visual for the sound. I use my camera to shoot videos for myself and others while still learning techniques in the process.
