As a solo, chamber, and orchestral musician, my goal in each performance is to tell a compelling story, as that allows me to connect with my audience on a deeper, more emotional level. I cherish my role as a museum gallery guide because it gives me the opportunity to meet and exchange stories with museum visitors. In my collaborations with The Creative Process, I would like to—through meeting and interviewing artists, writers, and thinkers, and compiling and sharing their stories with a wider audience—help emphasize the constant and absolute necessity of the arts in our ever-changing world.

My immediate plans for the future include finishing my minor in journalism this coming summer and continuing to write on my personal blog on Medium. Since August 2018, I have been a gallery guide for the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology; the museum’s current exhibit, Cloth that Stretches: Weaving Community Across Time and Space, showcases textiles from around the world. I will continue to perform as a cellist in various music ensembles including Celli@Berkeley, UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, and will be graduating from UC Berkeley with a Political Science and Music double major in May 2022.
