Tons of school!!

Hello all!

The past two months since my last post have been crazy!!! I had a gig singing at the Madonna Della Cava Feast in the North End of Boston that was truly a blast! I got to meet some really cool people and say hi to others I haven't seen in a while. A lot of people came out which was really great, so thank you so much! :)

I started my final year at Berklee this past month. I have 19 credits, which is unbelievably nuts. I just declared a minor in Drama, so next semester, I'm ready to take a lot of theatre classes! I'm still going to be graduating this May, but now with a double major in Performance and Professional Music and a minor in Drama! Hard to believe I'm going to finish it all in four years!

Last week, I performed at Berklee in a reading of a new musical called "Skindiver" by Nona Hendryx. She was in the group "LaBelle" and sang "Lady Marmalade." I was lucky and blessed to have received Marta, a main character in the musical.

As of right now, I am swamped with school, but to me, it's a good thing. I'm learning so much! Some of my favorite courses so far are Marketing, Taxation in the Music Business (believe it or not), and Eastern Vocal Styles. I'm gathering as much knowledge and skill as I can to help me in the real world!
