Starting my journey at six years old, I have performed at numerous social services, including community and senior centers, cultural festivals, stages, and banquets. As one of the lead performers for an ensemble of over 80 members, I honed my skills in communication, compassionate leadership, and organization. From performing for audiences of up to 2,000 to local community stages, I discovered that music can transcend cultural barriers and unite diverse individuals. Each performance serves as a celebration of my heritage, allowing me to share the joy of music and preserve this rich tradition for future generations.
