I'm an orchestra musician first and foremost. I've played in semi-professional orchestras from Chicago to Urbana, IL. My instrument, the bassoon, isn't as prominent as a violin or cello, but it's an important part of the orchestra sound. I'm currently a student at Illinois State University with a focus in the music industry. I want to help regional and major orchestras bring in young people, so that the music I love can touch lives for generations to come.
