I was born in Austin, Texas and began studying classical guitar in sixth grade at Gorzycki Middle School. In 2022, I joined the Austin Classical Guitar Youth Orchestra (ACGYO), which marked a significant turning point in my musical development. During my second year, I took on the role of section leader, a position I still hold as a senior at Bowie High School. My experiences with ACG have helped me grow immensely, both as a musician and as a person. I’m excited for the opportunities this season will bring.
