I am currently attending Interlochen Arts Academy in hopes of continuing my education of music and vocal performance in College. I have been studying voice for about 8 years, and I am strongly considering a career in Vocal Performance, Music Ed, or Music Therapy. My favorite part of my day are my two choir classes, being that choral music is my passion. The harmonies and beautiful sounds made in a choir are like nothing else. My dream job for the future would be Directing a high school or more advanced choir and performing on the side. My friends and my huge Maltese family mean the world to me
