About Me

Bio

I am a seventeen year old pianist and have been playing since the age of five.  I perform at recitals, competitions, and in my school orchestra.  I have also played piano at private events, local restaurants, nursing homes, and in Jim Brickman's Holiday Show.  I have been a finalist in several competitions, including Louisville's Got Talent, for which I was later a board member.

In my spare time, I also enjoy playing instruments such as bass, drums, and guitar.  I have composed music for my school orchestra and love physics, math, and playing on my school's Esports team.
