Happy Moments

Over the years, I was awarded piano solos at Carnegie Hall for several international competitions. My process to get there includes years of daily focus, persistence, nerves, disappointment, sacrifices, growth, sweat, and maybe some tears. But also feelings of immense joy and satisfaction. It was a privilege to be hanging out backstage with other artists like myself knowing that we all diligently practiced alone to arrive there. When I watch the other performers play, it is inspiring and humbling at the same time.

My proudest achievement was my first piano solo at Carnegie Hall when I was in eighth grade. I won First Place for the 2024 Association For Development Of The Gifted and Talented (AADGT) International Musicians Competition. I was so happy because I had worked toward this goal for years. Previously in 2022, I received the Third Place award.
