PERSONAL NOTE: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY
During high school, I was diagnosed with lupus and celiac disease, both of which presented significant challenges to my physical health and musical performance. However, these experiences strengthened my resilience, discipline, and empathy—qualities that have deepened my artistry and commitment to music. Learning to manage these conditions has taught me how to balance ambition with self-care, transforming obstacles into motivation to pursue a career where passion and perseverance meet.
FUTURE GOALS
To pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Music with concentrations in Performance of the Voice, and advocacy for accessibility and perseverance in the arts.
