Music has always been a big part of my life. When I was younger, I remember listening to hours of classical music while my eyes scoured the fingering charts for my flute. While flute is my primary instrument to date, I also play piano, violin, euphonium, trumpet, and clarinet. That musical passion that developed within me long ago has pushed me to accomplish bigger and better things. I am the flute section leader for Northview's marching band and in my free time, I enjoy composing and have recently finished a 3 movement piece for any wind ensemble setting. I am also a member of MAYWE as well as various outside orchestras that have performed all over the world. My experience over the years has led me to found a program called the Festival of Winds where I direct the talented musicians of Northview High School in wind ensemble as well as full orchestra settings.
