Story
My violin journey began in Tallahassee, Florida. In 5th grade, we were allowed to choose an elective course for the year. I wanted to take art, but my best friend convinced me to sign up for strings class instead. Cut to 20+ years later, she hasn't touched a violin in over 2 decades and I'm still going! I couldn't be more grateful to that friend for changing my life (thank you, Elise!)
​
I got my very first violin, and I hit the ground running. I joined the middle school (and eventually high school) orchestras, as well as the Tallahassee Youth Orchestra. I took weekly private violin lessons and attended any summer music camps my teacher recommended (including one in Germany!) I made it into the Florida All-State orchestra multiple years and went on to earn my bachelor's (Florida State University) as well as my master's degree (DePaul University) in Violin Performance.

Violin is what I do, and what I love.
