I come from all sorts of styles when it comes to performing. I have been performing at Summit Church for 16 years. I started out as their electric guitarist and over the years, I've played guitar (acoustic and electric), piano, bass, and sang with this church. I also performed 3 national tours with an alternative metal band called Just a Dream. Classically, I sang with the Texas State Chorale, the San Antonio Choral Society, and Les Ancients. I have also conducted the Vratsa Symphony Orchestra.

I taught private lessons with Taylor Robinson Music Company and taught classroom lessons with iPianoLab from 2. After earning my degree in 2021, I taught as the Assistant Choir Director for both Folks MS and Pease MS in San Antonio, TX. In 2022 I took over as the Head Choir Director at Bush MS in North East ISD where I worked for the past 2 years.
