I remember when I was in high school, my mom told me to cherish it because my high school years "would be the best years of my life." So, when I graduated high school, I recalled my mom's words and never imagined my four years at Cabrini would be able to top "the best years of my life.

Music is my passion. When I have my guitar in my hands, I am fearless. I am shameless. I am free. Playing guitar is my favorite outlet for my emotions.
