FinalistBio
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I began taking violin lessons and joined orchestra in the 6th grade, I found my passion and a supportive music community. That set me on a path to becoming concertmaster of my high school orchestra by 11th grade. Participating in orchestra allowed me to meet so many awesome like-minded people who I could share my love of music and have fun with, and I will never forget the friendships and memories I made as a result.
In addition to orchestra class, I participated in All-State High School Honors Orchestra, All County Orchestra, Solo & Ensemble, East Lake High School’s student-led Chamber Orchestra, Tri-M Music Honor Society, and much more. While these experiences taught me patience, dedication, and teamwork, they also deepened my love of music and inspired me to pursue it in college and as a career.
This fall I will be majoring in music at Boston University. My main goal in college is to learn as much as I can about different areas of music so that I can mix and match these skills to my heart’s content when I’m making my own music. I'm looking forward to enriching my musical experience by creating and performing music with other aspiring musicians across instruments, genres, and music-making methods.
Music lifts my spirits and fills my mind with hope. After graduation, I plan to use what I learn to inspire others the way music inspires me.
