I am a professional violinist who has been gifted in playing since I was 4 years old. Although I progressed quickly in the Suzuki Method and attended the advanced orchestra at Orange County High School of the Arts, at a young age I knew that there was more for me than the standard violinist and it has led me to perform worldwide with bands and performers of all kinds.
