Service Research Music
My interests in Urban Studies, Sociology, and Communication draw me toward questions of educational access, community development, and social inequality. Through tutoring, community service, and research, I have learned to look beyond numbers and consider the people and experiences behind them.
Music, athletics, and peer mentorship have also shaped how I work with others. Whether leading a flute sectional, organizing a school event, or helping a classmate understand a difficult concept, I have learned the importance of listening, collaboration, and showing up consistently.
