After that she went on to study at the prestigious American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria. She is no stranger to hard work and thus her many awards and honors have proven just that.

One of her guest soloist engagements included being able to pay tribute to First Lady Michelle Obama at the People’s Inaugural Luncheon! She has an extremely long list of recognitions and is well deserving of them all.

EARLY YEARS: At the age of about 10 or 11 her voice teacher complimented on her voice but at that time music didn't even spark a real interest to her. It wasn't until she performed in a concert where she received a standing ovation that her parents saw something in her that they never really took interest in before. From that point on she began to develop her craft and really began to flourish once she began to attend college. As her love for classical music grew she felt it even more important to introduce it to those who weren't familiar with that style of music.
