From Doodles and Make believe to Digital Based Audio

To me art was easy, it came naturally in several forms. At five my imagination was vibrant, I saw beauty in a story line, doodled and colored like there was nothing in the world that could make me happier. Music, singing, and dancing was so fun, had so much feeling, and was so very real. By my middle school years I had chosen my path, though I still dappled in drawing and writing, music was in my heart and soul, it ran in my veins.
Like most star struck young, naive singers, I wanted to be a famous singer someday, but I did know I didn't want to be surrounded by the darkness and danger that lurked for young artists in the music industry, I wanted to be on stage instead.
In high school I took the theatre route a little more seriously, I joined in any show I could afford to balance with my homework and other responsibilities, shows like RENT the high school adaption, and Beauty and the Beast. Even though I had small parts in both, I enjoyed it greatly. I was also involved in my high school's Forensic Speech team that specialized in Pose, Drama and Humor related scripts and prompts as well as tradition public speaking platforms like Debate or Informative Speech, etc. And last but not least I was also involved in a competitive Show Choir, both as a stage crew and a performer.
I believe it was being in the combination of a Show Choir stage crew member and preforming in Beauty and the Beast that stirred the desire to be more involved in the set up process of the theatre realm. A few years after graduation and sort of getting lost in the world of young adulthood and work, I got involved in my church's worship team, initially as a background singer, but then later on as a sound tech and stage hand for the team. 2016 ended up being the year I discovered what it was I wanted to do with the rest of my life while tweaking a nob or two while the team leader was singing through their set for the following Sunday.
On Feburary 28th of 2017 I officially started classes as a student of Audio Production, a science and art Bachelors Degree at Full Sail University, and I haven't looked back since.
