Which years were you at NSMS?
2008-2014
Who was your teacher?
Rebecca Pennington
What is a favorite NSMS memory?
The teacher recitals were always excellent, as well as being a lot of fun.
What are you doing now?
I'm finishing up a Master's degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. From there, I'll go down to the Kennedy Space Center to work on software for the Launch Control Systems. Hopefully, I can find a piano that can withstand the humidity.
What role does your education at NSMS play in your life today?
I still try to practice as if I have a weekly lesson to prepare for.

We are so glad that piano continues to be a part of your life. Best of luck in your next venture at the Kennedy Space Center! Maybe it's time for a "piano in space" experiment?
