Throughout my life, music has been a way for me to express my experiences and emotions as a human being while serving as a creative outlet at the same time. Music has taught me that growth takes dedication, patience, and discipline, significantly guiding other aspects of my life. Most importantly, music is important to me because it has allowed me to build so many significant connections with people. Being involved in multiple ensembles and making beautiful music with amazing people is a feeling I will never forget.
