I am eagerly passionate about learning and sharing music, including to those within my community.
I achieved second place in the 2024 Charleston’s Winter Competition. I have been part of the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra (BYSO) since 2019 and am in their Youth Symphony Orchestra. I have also been in Washington Music Educators Association’s (WMEA) All-State Orchestra for my 7th, 8th, and 10th grade years. I am also a part of Issaquah High School’s Chamber Strings Orchestra during the 9th and 10th grade. I have been accepted into the Issaquah School District’s Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra (the District’s Honor Orchestra) for the 11th grade.
I won the Most Inspirational award in BYSO during the 2022-2023 Season and in Issaquah High School’s Chamber Strings during the 2023-2024 school year.
I am the founder of the “Music 4 Us” organization which is a community volunteering music group that works to share music with people in the community that consists of more than 25 students from the Bellevue East Side.
