Following graduation, Peyton hopes to teach elementary or middle school music in a public school system. She is very excited to inspire and excite her students about music education. When she is not playing music, Peyton is spending time with her beloved family: Charlene, Andy, and her brothers Kyle and Sam. She likes to bake, play board games, shop til she drops, and spend time with her cats Oreo and Cherry.
