What inspired you to go into music?

My sister, who at the time was in high school, started with music. I would hear her practice in her room or go see her shows and concerts and seeing how much fun she was having, it inspired me to start with music as soon as i could.

What is an interesting fact about you?

I play trumpet for concert season, but recently i started playing mellophone during marching season! As well as a flugel horn when needed.

What activities do you enjoy in your spare time?

I do a lot of marching band and DCI. Outside of music i cook! The goal is go to a culinary school in either Oregon or New York and pursue both culinary and music however I can.

What are you most excited for about this 2024-2025 season?

I am most excited for getting to know all of these new people and meeting these talented musicians, hopefully gaining more knowledge musically, being able to enhance my musical capabilities.
