I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and the outdoors. Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, I was surrounded by dogs, which sparked my love for walking and caring for them. My early experiences with dogs taught me the importance of trust, patience, and companionship—qualities I carry with me in my work today.

I spent 6 years at the prestigious music school at Indiana University.  In 2023. I earned a Masters of Music In Jazz - Trombone. In March 2025, I moved to Chicago and joined Heaven Sent shortly after. As a jazz musician and composer, I’m deeply immersed in Chicago’s vibrant jazz scene. I perform frequently with a variety of artists and ensembles, and you can also catch me traveling to Madison and Milwaukee to play gigs.

My music journey allows me to explore creativity, expression, and rhythm, which I find parallels beautifully with my work as a dog walker. Whether I’m composing or walking your dog, I believe in the importance of timing, connection, and spontaneity. When I’m not with your furry companion, I’m likely performing live in the city or working on new music to share with audiences.
