Summary

A lifelong musician with a passion for both instrumental and vocal performance, I have performed in settings ranging from intimate ensembles to national concert halls in Singapore and across the U.S. My experience spans symphonic bands, choral ensembles, and a cappella groups, where I’ve not only performed but also led and mentored fellow musicians. As a music educator in Irvine, I am committed to passing the torch and sharing my love for music while balancing my full-time career.
