I started modern bassoon at age 11 and Baroque bassoon at age 13. I performed at a very advanced level on both modern and Baroque bassoon until my senior year of high school where I decided to focus on Baroque bassoon only. I am the youngest person in the North Americas to learn Baroque bassoon, and I was the only youth (under 18 years old) in the USA to play Baroque bassoon from 2019-2024.

I was accepted into the prestigious music conservatory Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. I started my studies fall 2024 to work towards my B.A. degree in historical bassoon performance under the guidance of Carles Cristóbal (from Spain).

I was raised on an island in Washington state (USA). Being raised on an island is a huge part of my identity and culture. I enjoy the outdoors and have a deep love for the Salish Sea. My island culture helped shape me into the person that I am and inspired my passion for music and the performing arts. I do have interests outside of music which include historical dress creation and sewing, being outdoors, and traveling.

I speak English, German, and some Swiss-German, and I hope to learn French and Spanish while living in Europe.
