My favorite part about being in Singers is having the amazing opportunity to be surrounded by talented individuals who share a passion for music.

I find inspiration in many artists, but gospel artists tend to inspire me the most.

Do you have a favorite memory since joining Singers?
My favorite memory of joining Singers so far is going to FMEA in Tampa, Florida with UWF Singers. It was a wonderful experience to sing with my choir members and create memories together on the trip. Also, watching the Voctave concert was very cool.

If you could give any advice to anyone seeing this, what would it be?
My advice to anyone seeing this is to put your best effort into everything you do, engage in activities that have a positive influence on your well-being, and surround yourself with supportive people. Also, set goals and don’t be afraid to make mistakes because it’s a part of the journey.

I love the music we sing and the professional and high standards we are held to.

Work hard and never pass up an opportunity.

I would like to teach music, most likely private lessons, or pursue a career singing country music.
