Hello! I'm 17 and I have been playing the violin since 9 years of age. I'm finishing college applications soon, hoping to major in Environmental Science and/or travel the Pre-medicine or Pre-dental path, never forgetting about the violin, of course. I enjoy all kinds of music but the classical genre holds a special place in my heart. I listen to all the eras, but have a general preference for late-classical to romantic works. The personal website posted is a master list of all the classical pieces that I enjoy listening to; it's updated often.

I'm currently Concertmaster of a youth orchestra that has toured Europe, China, and Australia in previous years. But I'm a chamber musician at heart, performing in groups of all sizes including quartet (my favorite), quintet, and pit settings. On the side I teach a little, also being an advocate for the revival of strings and classical music in the upcoming generations of youth.

I am honored to play on the following instruments:

:: "Lord Casper" Unlabeled, 1741
: Dominant + Gold Label e
: "Coup de grĂ¢ce" Codabow Diamond GX (R. Zabinsky)

:: "Gallant" Franz Sandner Commission, Nauheim, 2004
: Infeld Blue G, Obligato D(silver), Obligato a(alum), Goldbrokat e
: "Basil" P. Fracalossi
: "Singa" Unlabeled
