My dissertation topic starts coming into focus in late Fall 2024 with the help of my amazing research advisor Dr. Sarah Provost. My thesis gets its debut at the Women’s Advancement Initative Symposium in Spring 2025, where I was honored as a Dorothy Goodwin Scholar.

Warming up onstage with Mohamed, who liked the plants so much he declared they should always be there to inspire performers!
Not pictured: hundreds of hours spent learning the Ligeti Sonata.
Lucky to make music with such wonderful and talented women!

My last “official” lesson with my beloved teacher Steve and a toast with the De Jesus family (my wonderful hosts in Connecticut) - cheers to no longer commuting every week between Boston and Hartford!
Lots of viola all the time!
