A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to my website!
I will be posting upcoming performances, recitals, events, videos, things of that sort here. If you want to contact me with any inquiries please feel free to send me a message.
I am an oboist currently studying at Southern Methodist University. I'm a graduate from the Peck School of the Arts and University of North Texas. I have always felt the power of music in my life, letting it shape how I viewed human expression and world perspectives. My passion as a musician is creating, preserving, and connecting with music all over the world.
In addition to music, I love plants, animals, photography, coffee shops, and picnics. I also am passionate about advocating and caring for rescue animals. You can often find me caring for my orphaned foster kittens.

“We are unable to play perfectly the way we would like to. We can't. There are many more beautiful things we can do and that is good because it keeps us moving forward. Who are you to consider playing perfectly? It's very arrogant thing to do. Accept that we are fallible and bad things happen. That is when we perform our best.”
