To kick of 2025, I visited the University of Miami to play music for the short film, "News Without a Newsroom." Musicians, audio engineers, and student composers all came together, with each area of expertise proving essential for a successful recording session.  (I always admire the level of knowledge and precision it takes to navigate so much technology at once!)

Festival of the Lights was a blast, and I loved seeing the audience's excitement throughout the shows! We played a variety of holiday-themed music while pictures were projected on the nearby buildings. The performances were also interactive, as volunteers from the audience got a chance to conduct the orchestra at the start of each show. It definitely brought in some fun, festive energy!

Miami Pixel partnered with the New World Center to host an interactive side-by-side workshop. This paired students up with some of the orchestra's leaders, offering an immersive pre-professional experience. These up and coming musicians learned about the art of video game music through watching presentations, engaging in thought provoking conversation, and playing the music alongside MPSO members.

Latin Grammy week definitely couldn't go by without some Yandel! A select group of FIU string players joined the reggaeton artist on stage once more, this time in celebration of his recent Grammy nomination.

Playing the Dvorak Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major has been a dream of mine for years. Not only has it come true, but our first major performance of it was on live radio! We were featured on the WDNA 88.9FM Jazz Station, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to play my dream piece with such a wonderful group.

The Miami Pixel String Quartet had so much fun performing at the IWAI anime convention this past November. We had an exciting lineup of music from video games, anime, and popular movies. We also couldn't help but smile seeing how excited the audience got hearing their favorite pieces.

Reggaeton meets classical music! The Florida International University Symphony Orchestra collaborated with Grammy Award winning artist, Yandel, in celebration of his new album, "ELYTE". There were so many moving parts, which made it all the more enriching to be part of and to see the final product. Pictured here are the violin and viola sections, which made up one end of the stage, in our final rehearsal.

Thanks to the ASME@WAU Music Festival, I had the chance to perform with a talented violist from China at the Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. The event celebrated 45 years of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China. What better way to celebrate unity than with music?

Mendelssohn's c minor piano trio (No. 2 Op. 66)  is one of my favorite pieces now. I truly felt privileged being assigned this beautiful work, studying it, performing it, and now getting to take all those memories with me.

I was ecstatic to sit associate concertmaster for the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra! What a great way to start my 4th and final summer at the Eastern Music Festival. I concluded my final performance by sitting principal 2nd, which felt like the perfect finish. I am SO grateful for EMF and how the faculty have shaped me these past 4 summers!

Florida International University's Symphony Orchestra ended the season with a bang! Musicians from several different countries all came together for the Miami premier of Antonio Estévez's "Cantata Criolla". It was certainly a special and meaningful finale!

A lovely first performance of Beethoven's "Gassenhauer"  Trio, Op. 11, at Florida International University's Departmental Recital.

Sitting associate concertmaster for the Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra 2023 Argentina Tour. We performed Mahler's 5th Symphony five times in five different cities, under the baton of Jan Wagner.

Performing in the Shenandoah Conservatory Honors Recital with fellow 2023 graduates!

Finished my third and final senior recital just a few weeks before graduating!

Premiering my arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's Vuelvo al Sur during my second senior recital.

Preparing lesser known works by Mendelssohn and Viuextemps for my first senior recital.

Brahms Sextet No. 1, Op. 18 performed at Shenandoah Conservatory.

Typical day as a student- focusing on improving technique! (It's just more fun when you have the chapel to yourself)

Shenandoah University opened a vaccination center for part of 2021, where the community first came to get their COVID-19 vaccines. My professor, Akemi Takayama, and I volunteered to perform duets hoping to uplift both the people waiting, and the other volunteers as they worked.

I won my first competition in 2019 playing the Viuextemps Violin Concerto No. 4 in d minor. It took a lot to reach this moment, and it was worth it!
