Boulder is a very tough place to leave behind. I’m feeling so lucky to have gotten to experience such a beautiful town, meet so many wonderful people, and make three years of music with them. I’m really going to miss this chapter but I’m extremely grateful for the lessons I’ve learned and a lot of good memories.

For those who don’t know, I will be serving for the next year as an ArtistYear AmeriCorps Volunteer Fellow in the Denver public school system to help enrich the arts programs at Title I schools. I’m excited for this next chapter and thankful that I’m not too far from the Flatirons!
