My hometown is South Bend, Indiana.<\/p>\n
What made you choose Ball State?<\/span><\/h5>\nI chose Ball State because I was very attracted to the music education program. I knew how renowned and inclusive it was, so knew I had to be here. I absolutely love my professors, friends, classes, and all the experiences I\u2019ve had here; I couldn\u2019t imagine being anywhere else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
What has been your favorite part of your experience at Ball State so far?<\/span><\/h5>\nAlthough there are many, one of my favorite experiences at Ball State has been my time with the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band. I have met some of my best friends through this organization, as well as had some of the most rewarding educational experiences through it. I really look forward to rehearsals, \u201cRed Days,\u201d and game days in Schumann Stadium. This program has really blossomed my love for the marching arts, and it is a great experience that I\u2019d recommend to anyone.<\/p>\n
How long have you been interested in music? What instrument do you play?<\/span><\/h5>\nI\u2019ve studied the piano for 12 years, and the flute and piccolo for 10 years. However, I\u2019ve been interested in music for as long as I can remember. When I was young, I\u2019d perform piano recitals for my family with a printed program, performer\u2019s notes, dedications, and backgrounds of each piece. I was also very involved in the choir and bell choir in elementary school.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Are you involved with any campus groups besides the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band?<\/span><\/h5>\nIn my time at Ball State, I\u2019ve been involved in United Sound and PRISM Project, both programs designed to help those with special needs have more access to the fine arts. I have also been involved in the basketball bands, symphony and wind symphony bands, university choral union, piano studio, flute studio, the Honors College, and REVO community and church.<\/p>\n
What made you choose music education?<\/span><\/h5>\nMusic has always spoken to me in unexplainable ways. It brings out the best in me, and has made me a better person. I want to open the doors to this unique experience for my students so they have a chance to feel the absolute joy, love, and respect for music as well.<\/p>\n
When will you graduate?<\/span><\/h5>\nSpring of 2023.<\/p>\n
What are your plans for after graduation?<\/span><\/h5>\nI am hoping to teach band at the middle or high school level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nIn my time at Ball State, I\u2019ve been involved in United Sound and PRISM Project, both programs designed to help those with special needs have more access to the fine arts. I have also been involved in the basketball bands, symphony and wind symphony bands, university choral union, piano studio, flute studio, the Honors College, and REVO community and church.<\/p>\n
What made you choose music education?<\/span><\/h5>\nMusic has always spoken to me in unexplainable ways. It brings out the best in me, and has made me a better person. I want to open the doors to this unique experience for my students so they have a chance to feel the absolute joy, love, and respect for music as well.<\/p>\n
When will you graduate?<\/span><\/h5>\nSpring of 2023.<\/p>\n
What are your plans for after graduation?<\/span><\/h5>\nI am hoping to teach band at the middle or high school level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you have any hobbies outside of music that you\u2019d like to share?<\/span><\/h5>\nI enjoy going to the rec center to work out!<\/p>\n
Are there any fun facts about yourself that you would like to share?<\/span><\/h5>\nOne fun fact about me is that I have a three-legged dog named Daisy! She is my absolute best friend, along with my mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
