Biography

For as long as I can remember, my life has been enriched by the study and performance of music. For the past three years I have directed a large high school choral music program in North Carolina. During that time, I have seen the power of choral music to stimulate and transform others. I am dedicated to inspiring my students’ realization of this transformative power, and endeavor to illustrate that music is an improvement on life itself. The M.Mus. in Choral Studies at Cambridge will provide a unique intellectual and musical training—one that will allow me to expand my reach to the global community. Cambridge offers a diverse approach to training choral musicians that will provide me with the experience necessary to more effectively work with students on a global level and to make music of the highest caliber. I am excited to immerse myself in a culture that places such a high value on choral music and music education, steeped in a timeless tradition that has thrived for centuries.
