Describe your favorite Berklee experience so far.

My favorite Berklee experience has been spending late nights in the studio with my amazing and talented friends, recording incredible musicians and getting to be a part of so many exciting projects.

When you think about your favorite class so far, what is one example of why you enjoyed it?

My favorite class so far has been Harmony 4 Intensive, taught by the amazing professor Amy Bellamy. Not only is she an incredible keyboardist, but she made every topic engaging and interesting. I still remember the first class, when she sat down at the piano and played "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder.

What is your favorite part about studying and living in Boston?

My favorite part about studying and living in Boston is how walkable the city is. In the summer, I love taking long walks to explore different coffee shops and hidden corners of the city.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone applying to Berklee College of Music/Boston Conservatory at Berklee?

I would say Berklee truly offers endless possibilities and experiences that will shape your musical journey in ways you never expected. Some students come to Berklee with a specific career path or goal in mind, but I would encourage you to stay open to the diverse experiences and opportunities here. You might discover new passions and interests through a conversation with a new friend you just made, a random concert on a Tuesday, or even a new collaboration.

Where is your favorite place on campus?

My favorite place on campus would have to be the Albert Alphin Library.

Why did you choose Berklee?

I chose Berklee because of the endless possibilities it offers. I wasn't entirely sure about my career path right after high school, but Berklee's wide range of majors, from composition and production to performance and music therapy, helped me realize that I could craft my future in countless ways. The connections I've made here have been invaluable to my growth.

What are your plans for after graduation?

After graduation, I hope to continue working in the studio. I've found a lot of fulfillment in collaborating with other creatives, and I'm excited to keep expanding my network and the community I've built during my time at Berklee.

What have you enjoyed most about the live shows you've been involved in at Berklee?

It's tough to pick just one, as every live show has its own unique surprises and challenges. I truly enjoy every live show that I am involved in. This unique thrill is something you don't really have the opportunity to feel outside of performing.

Where do you hope to perform this coming year?

I would love to perform at the BPC before I graduate.
