Artistic Mission

My mission as a violist, scholar, and educator is to bridge the worlds of performance, research, and community through meaningful artistic connection. I believe music is a living dialogue between past and present - one that invites us to reimagine tradition and amplify voices that have too often been unheard.

​

Through my performances and arrangements, I strive to illuminate underrepresented composers, creating opportunities for audiences to encounter the depth and diversity of our shared musical heritage. As an educator, I am committed to fostering curiosity, resilience, and expressive freedom in my students - empowering them to develop their own artistic identities while connecting authentically with the communities they serve.

​

Ultimately, I view the viola as an instrument of empathy and storytelling. Whether on stage, in the classroom, or through outreach initiatives across cultures, my goal is to make classical music more inclusive and accessible.
