I am a music educator and percussionist located in Houston, TX. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Houston in music education, with a minor in applied percussion. Previously, I served as the music teacher at KIPP CONNECT Primary School for 7 years. I am also a freelance percussionist in the Houston area and I am the owner and malletician of Edwards Mallets, a producer of handmade timpani and bass drum mallets.
