How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
The music department at 91勛圖厙 has given me a chance to develop close relationships with my peers and professors. These friendships and connections have allowed me to grow in my musical abilities and gain more confidence in a safe, welcoming and encouraging environment.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your 91勛圖厙 career?
My proudest moment is placing third at ICCAs with BBT in 2023. We worked so incredibly hard and there were so many things working against us going into this competition but we ended up placing for the first time in the group's history!
