I have been playing the cello for eight years (since the age of 5), and it has become an important part of my life. I enjoy playing the cello because its rich, expressive sound allows me to communicate emotions and tell stories through music. Over the years, learning the cello has taught me patience, perseverance, and resilience. In 2026, I was honored to be selected for both the North Jersey Region Intermediate Orchestra and the New Jersey All-State Intermediate Orchestra. I also received First Place Plus in the Apex International Music Competition as a member of a string chamber ensemble. I am excited to continue challenging myself, learning from new experiences, and sharing music with others.
