A little more about me
The beginning
I was born December 31, 1996 in Lorain, Ohio to Tammy Bradley and Scott Tiffan. I have a twin sister named Amber, as well as one older brother named Bradley and a younger sister named Zoey. Bradley is currently a senior at the University of Akron where he is studying computer science. Zoey is in the 6th grade. She is a black belt in tae kwon do and plays the French horn.
About Me
Before I came to school, I worked two jobs, one at Wendy's and one at our local swimming pool. My favorite food is peanut butter. My favorite bands include (but are not limited to) Jukebox the Ghost, Walk the Moon, Panic! at the Disco, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend and Fall Out Boy. When I'm not working or doing something band related, I like to scrapbook.
Siblings
Important people in my life
My Mom
My mom's name is Tammy. She is not only a nurse but an awesome mom. She got her education while raising her two daughters by herself and I couldn't be more proud of her.
Amber
Amber is my twin sister. She is currently at Capital University majoring in math. We spend all of our time together. Until we left for college, we had not been apart for more than two weeks.
Ilana
Ilana is my best friend from high school. She is currently attending Ohio State University majoring in engineering. We met in marching band our freshman year when we were in the same section.
Ginger
Ginger is a pit bull/boxer mix. Despite being part pit bull, she is a very precious dog. We rescued her about a year ago.
My musical life
My senior year in high school, I had the privilege of being band president. I have a lot of love for the band program, and it made me who I am today. Therefore I had to include the band seniors with our director at states this past year. We definitely became the typical band family between all the time spent at marching band and concert/symphonic band throughout the years.
CYWS
The Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony is an audition-based group for high school students and it is composed of wind players from over 80 local schools. They rehearse every Saturday morning downtown. Being a part of this group my junior and senior years of high school changed my life. I got to play quality literature with awesome people under an unbelievable director. Last summer we toured Europe including Switzerland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The experiences I had with this group made me serious about studying music after high school.
