Summary

While I studied music as my primary discipline, I used it as a tool to advocate for human rights, women’s empowerment, and peace. However, my academic journey extended far beyond performance. Alongside my cello training, I pursued coursework in international relations, ethics, psychology, and sociology. Subjects that challenged me to think critically about global systems and social justice. These interdisciplinary experiences reinforced my commitment to cross cultural engagement and deepened my aspiration to support communities through education, diplomacy, and inclusive policy.
