Summary
Dedicated and experienced pianist with 16 years of classical training under a Juilliard-educated mentor. Participated in a 2022 piano seminar in Kraków, deepening my performance and interpretive skills. Currently a third-year Political Science student at the University of British Columbia, I bring a strong background in education, having taught English both online and in person, with a volunteer group, and served as a mentor in various youth programs. Most recently, I worked in Japan as a Winter International Sports Mentor, leading cross-cultural groups of high school students in Niseko, Japan. Passionate about fostering creativity and discipline through music education.
