I have also been featured in several news publications on the Gulf Coast including, The Biloxi D'Iberville Press. In high school, I participated in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My college choral group performed Handle's Messiah at Carnegie Hall. I have played three Sunday Songwriter's Showcases and three early shows at the Bluebird Cafe.
