Late Senior Year Update
Jan. 28, 2020—Better late than never right? I can’t believe that I am currently in my last semester of undergrad at Vanderbilt. This first month has honestly already flown by, and I’m sure the rest of the semester will also pass quickly. But, here are a few quick updates on me! My Schedule I am taking five...
Melanated Takes ICCA
Feb. 24, 2018—So, if you haven’t heard, my a cappella group, Melanated A Cappella, advanced to the quarterfinals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA)! If you’re unfamiliar with this competition, it’s the same one that’s featured in all of the Pitch Perfect movies! It was such an amazing feeling to see our name on...
Singing on Campus
Nov. 21, 2017—So, for those of you who don’t know, I am a member of two different music organizations on campus that are a part of the Vanderbilt Performing Arts Community (VPAC).

I was also, however, incredibly excited. Our practices...
Reflections and Prospects (Spring 2013)

This is the second night I spend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and while cheese puffs, Chex Mix, and Ale81...
And away we go!
Aug. 21, 2012—After the summer flew by, my first week back at Vandy flew right behind it, as well. Between two music organizations, a Mayfield, moving in, and friends, I was occupied the entire week, and school starts tomorrow!
Magical Opera at Vanderbilt!
Nov. 13, 2010—Last night was opening night for the Blair School of Music’s performance of Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor in Ingram Hall. Good portions of both the voice department and orchestra were involved with making the show the truly spectacular experience that it was; not to mention the brilliance of conductor Robin Fountain and director...
