Extracurricular Activities:

In order to fund my degree in computer science, I received a scholarship for music performance—I also earned a minor in music. I was heavily involved in various large and small ensembles, including the EWU Symphony Orchestra, the EWU Wind Ensemble (I was the principal oboist in this group for six years), the EWU Reparatory Jazz Orchestra, the EWU Marching Band, and Code Red, Eastern's elite pep band. I received an additional scholarship for my participation in Code Red.

Quality Control

In this position I inspect and play-test each oboe reed individually to ensure they meet the company's standards of playability, tone quality, pitch, and cosmetics. I also categorize reeds by strength, and I continually give feedback to improve the manufacturing process.

Manufacturing

In this position I operate light machinery to perform fine manufacturing processes along the oboe and bassoon reed assembly lines.

The NSLS is the largest leadership honor society in the United States, with over 1.8 million members across 800+ chapters. The NSLS has helped me grow professionally and personally. Their programs promote leadership skills, help students set and achieve goals, and help students form a community based on high academic achievement. Their exclusive platform offers access to a variety of resources, including speaker broadcasts, personalized success plans, and networking events.

Wind Ensemble and Orchestra

I held the principal oboe position in Eastern's Wind Ensemble and Orchestra from fall 2019 until spring 2025.

Marching band

From the 2021 season through the 2025 season, I was the mellophone section leader in the EWU Marching Band. Responsibilities include attendance of leadership meetings in addition to regular rehearsals, leading sectional rehearsals, and assisting the band director with various logistical tasks.

Code Red

I was a member of Code Red from the 2021 season until I graduated in 2025. Code Red is an audition-based pep band that performs at many of Eastern's volleyball and basketball games. I held the principal mellophone position every season I participated.

For one season in 2022, I was the High Brass Technician at Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane, WA. I was responsible for teaching and leading the trumpet and mellophone sections during sectional rehearsals. I helped lead music rehearsals and marching drills.
