I play in Symphonic Wind Ensemble (SWE) under the direction of Patrick Reynolds. I also play in woodwind quintet with Barbara Quinterno, Allison Khormann,
My music career began when I was younger playing the piano. I was never very successful at it so I would stop taking lessons on and off. It wasnt until I was in 5th grade when I started playing the string bass. However, I didnt like the string bass much more than the piano so I tried violin next. I found sucess playing the violin but regretfully had to give it up so that my career with the oboe could flourish. In seventh grade I began playing oboe. Since then I have been in several honors bands including OMEA All State Band, OSU Honors Band, and Worthington Honors Band. I also participated in Columbus Youth Symphony for 2 years and the Cadet symphony.
