An expert burrito bowl builder at Chipotle by day and the news director for WQIO and WMVO by night... I tend to keep myself pretty busy, but I always make time for music. I graduated with my BA in Journalism and Media Production from MVNU in 2020. Since then, I’ve stayed rooted in creative work in any way I can. I’m delighted to be taking the stage in my hometown for the Summer Concert Series, even though I’m more accustomed to being behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight. I’m excited to bring you a great performance, right where I’ve always belonged - making music in the community that shaped me.
