Bio

I’m a Barnstable High School graduate of 2023. My dream is to pursue a career in Music Education. I plan on majoring in Music Education and Cybersecurity. As well as music, my interests go further, with technology. I've always taken multiple science courses for fun, and I was also a part of robotics club and Mu Alpha Theta. I love playing music, and learning about the newest technological advances. I always do my best to live by my motto, “Practice”. Whether it’s practicing music, math, or sports, I’ll always try my best to succeed.

      Aspiring Musician Scholarship
      Since I was a little girl, music has been an inseparable part of my life. It is through the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies that I have learned the power of expression, the beauty of diversity, and the importance of spreading joy. My love for classical music and funk and others, combined with my passion for performing and teaching, has not only brought me great personal happiness but also ignited a desire to share this happiness with others. As I venture on the path to becoming an educator, my goal is to help children perceive the world through the lens of music, encouraging positivity and encouraging a different way of perceiving the world. Through music, I have come to appreciate the greatness of human emotions and experiences that can be conveyed and understood without uttering a single word. Classical music, with its rich history and elaborate compositions, has taught me the value of patience, dedication, and the beauty that comes from harmonizing different instruments to create a beautiful sound. On the other hand, funk music, with its infectious beats and expressive lyrics, has shown me the power of embracing individuality, allowing each instrument and performer to shine in their unique way. Music, in all its forms, is a source of joy for me. The act of creating, performing, and even listening to music fills my heart with happiness The beauty of music lies in its ability to uplift moods, evoke emotions, and create lasting memories. As I reflect on the profound influence music has had on my life, I am drawn to the idea of becoming an educator. I envision a future where I can inspire young minds to view the world through the transformative power of music, much like I have done. By encouraging them to explore various genres, instruments, and forms of expression, I aim to nurture their creativity and critical thinking skills. Beyond technical proficiency, my goal is to impart the values of empathy, teamwork, and respect that music inherently teaches. Through this journey, I hope to cultivate a generation that sees beyond differences, embraces diversity, and spreads positivity through their love for music. The opportunity of performing and teaching has allowed me to spread happiness and inspiration to others. As I aspire to become an educator, I am determined to helping other kids experience the power of music, encouraging a deeper connection spreading positivity. Just as music has improved the way I see life, I am dedicated to sharing this view with the world, one note at a time.
