Statement
As a young advocate or the arts, I believe that the role of the performer has recently grown to encompass more than just the fulfillment of performances. I believe that with so much freedom to access and tap into different communities through the internet, it is important to share my artistic ideas with as many people as possible from the ground up — much of which involves ensuring that vulnerable populations have as much access to the arts and music as the more privileged. Therefore, it is my goal to create a fusion between the arts and community in a myriad of sustainable methods.
