"Never let success go to your head, never let failure get to your heart." - Beyoncé

Music has been the one, if not the only thing I excelled at and showed true passion for. I was born into a long line of performers, so it's safe to say that music has been a part of my life since I was little. Singing was the first thing I learned how to do, with my mom and grandmother as my first teachers. I joined my first glee club in elementary, where I also taught myself how to play the piano. During high school, I was an active member of the glee club as well, learning about part singing and developing my technique. Since then, I have gained a plethora of valuable performance and competition experience, all of which have helped me mold and shape my craft.

Currently, I am enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas, pursuing a degree in Music Education with an emphasis in Voice. I believe that I have enough heart and drive to practice music as a career, seeing as it has been a huge part of my life (and it still is!). Where others succeed in health, business, or other typical avenues, I thrive in music.

I have received awards from numerous singing competitions both locally and internationally. These include recurring gold ratings from the Tumon Bay Music Festival held in Guam and the International Thespian Festival held at Lincoln, Nebraska.
