I began violin in 4th Grade where I studied with Maggie Delaney. In 6th Grade I joined the Youth Ensemble of Strings in Lincoln and played for 1 year before joining the Junior Youth Orchestra my 7th grade year. In 8th Grade, I started to study with Grace Dowd and I joined the Lincoln Homeschool Orchestra, and have played with them ever since. And this past year, I served as principle second violin in the Lincoln Youth Symphony. In addition to that, I was fifth chair in the Nebraska All-State Orchestra.
