I started playing the violin at the age of six. During third and fourth grade, I was a member of the Evergreen Elementary School Orchestra, where I developed my ensemble skills and deepened my love for music.
Outside of school, I regularly performed hymns with my older brothers at church services and special events. These experiences taught me the importance of making music together and sharing it with others, inspiring me to continue growing as both a musician and a performer.
