    Your constant encouragement and positivity has helped me to believe in my music and in myself.

    Thank you to Hankus, Eden, and Lautaro
    for providing me with so many wonderful performance opportunities and encouraging me to push my artistic boundaries.

    Thank you to my Berklee private instructor Kathleen Flynn
