I am currently principal flute of the New Jersey Symphony Youth Orchestra. Learning to play the piano since first grade and flute when I was in fourth grade, I have always been actively involved in music since I was little. Currently studying under Ms. Amy Tu, I have participated in and won many competitions, such as NJSYO’s Henry Lewis Concerto Competition, the NJMTNA Senior Woodwind Competition, and the International Crescendo Competition. I was also able to participate in a multitude of ensembles along with the NJSYO, including the CJMEA Regional and All State Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, and Symphonic Band. During my summer breaks, I auditioned and was accepted into several music programs, including the Juilliard Summer Winds Program and the M-Pulse Flute Institute. Since I began exploring my passion for flute performance, I had the opportunity to work with many renowned flutists like Sir James Galway, Jeanne Baxtresser, Amy Porter, Bonita Boyd, and Bart Feller. I am also an active member of her school’s Tri-M Music Honors Society.
