I am a first year undergraduate dual degree Trumpet Performance and History major at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester College of Arts, Science, and Engineering. I come from a mixed Latinx/White background and both of my parents are educators. I have a passion for musical performance and teaching and I love a challenge. My primary goals for the future are to obtain an MM in Trumpet performance and a PhD in Musicology and Latin American History. Using these, I aspire to perform in a major symphony orchestra as well as teach Trumpet and Historical Musicology at a University near the orchestra.
