Since 2009, I have been a proud member of many orchestras and chamber groups both in school and in my community - whether that meant North Dakota, North Carolina, or Scotland.

After graduating from a high school conservatory program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in 2019, I began to study music from a social science perspective.

Throughout my time at university, I studied the impact of the arts on society and the effects of a conservatory education on former arts school students all while still being a part of the cello section.
