Musical Background
I started my musical journey when I was in the first grade at the age of 6. I began taking piano lessons and got involved in an afterschool string program at Mead Hall Episcopal School under the direction of Mrs. Joanne Stanford. When I got ready to go to middle school, I started taking private lessons for violin from Mrs. Stanford and became a member of the Suzuki Strings of Augusta. During high school, I was one of the founding core members and served as the concertmaster for the Aiken Regional Chamber Orchestra. I was also concertmaster for the Suzuki Strings of Augusta Senior Ensemble during my senior year. After graduating with honors from Aiken High School, I attended the University of South Carolina School of Music in Columbia, SC. I studied violin under Dr. William Terwilliger and Mr. Ryan Kho.
