My love for music never <br /> faltered and I was selected to attend the Alabama School of Fine Arts to study piano further. At <br /> this institution, I grew very familiar with all the arts that were celebrated at the school: creative <br /> writing, dance, theater, visual arts, music and even math and science. My experience and <br /> interactions at this school gave me a deeper look and better appreciation of the arts and showed <br /> me the positive ripple effects the arts could have on a community. <br /> I continued my music education at UNC-Chapel Hill as a Kenan Music scholar, where I <br /> experienced and participated in local and world-class arts and cultural opportunities on campus <br /> and in Chapel Hill and the surrounding areas. After receiving my Bachelor of Music in piano <br /> performance, I continued my studies at the University of Georgia, where I went on to earn a <br /> Masters and doctorate in piano performance and piano pedagogy. <br /> My journey eventually led me back to Chapel Hill to serve as the Marketing and Development <br /> Communications Manager for Arts Everywhere, a comprehensive initiative to make the arts a <br /> fundamental part of University culture and daily campus life. Through my position at Arts <br /> Everywhere, I am heavily involved in the arts events and activities on campus and in the <br /> community. <br /> Given my deep familiarity with the arts sector, my connections to the University, and my passion <br /> for the work that I do with Arts Everywhere, I am certain that my ideals and goals would align <br />
