When I was in 6th grade, I experienced a concussion which affected my eyesight horribly. I currently have an acuity of 20/200 with correction, which makes many things in my life just a little bit more challenging. Even though it sucks occasionaly, I find that I am able to push through those obstacles. Performing helps me keep my mind off of the blurriness, reminds me that I can still achieve anything, despite my disability. I think many people agree that music can be like a great escape. Music is something you can easily get lost in, which makes it special. My goal as a performer is to encourage the audience to listen, because most of my life, I have relied more on my ears than most. Hopefully people can view the world in a new perspective with my performances.

I am also a violinist! I started my violin journey in 5th grade at Westrbooke Elementary School. Since then, I played throughout my time in public school. I took a break in college until Summer 2024, when I joined the Video Game Music Ensemble at UCF and it reunited my love for the instrument. Since Spring of 2025, I have been performing with the Symphony Orchestra at UCF and I hope to one day have a spot in a professional orchestra, play at weddings, and gig around with violin as well as with percussion. I also play cello in UCF’s University Orchestra.

I am a 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo! I have been trained for 15 years at Victory Martial Arts and I worked as an Assistant Instructor 2021-2024 (college got me busy). I joined the UCF Taekwondo team in spring of 2024. I feel that Martial Arts has truly helped me when it comes to performing. As someone who has competed individually in the sport and has been a team member of a National winning Demo Team, I grew up in front of the crowd. Teaching has also built my confidence when it comes to playing music for people.
