Reflecting on this year’s season and our European tour, I recognize how much I have to be grateful for. Thank you to everyone who made the past month amazing ☺️ love you all!!! 🫶

Thank you so so much @karina.canellakis for your mentorship and for taking the time to share your wisdom with us and inspire us. It truly means so much and you have had a very significant influence on my musical journey 💗

This year it doesn’t feel like a goodbye because I came to the realization that it never really is one. All of the experiences I’ve been lucky enough to be given have had an indelible impact on who I am as a person, and in a way, I will never leave NYO because I will carry this wisdom with me for the rest of my life. As always, I am forever grateful for @carnegiehall @nyo.usa for opening doors for so many and providing these amazing opportunities for us all. I’ll miss everyone but trust that we will see each other again soon!!

Mingus 2026! So grateful for our big band to have won first place in our division this year. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come so far in this journey not only as individuals but as a collective. Thank you to everyone in the @mingusbigband that played a part in the festival for sharing all of your wisdom as well as the legacy of Charles Mingus.

Yay NSJE!! Love you all 🫶☺️

The past few weeks have been incredible in ways I find hard to put into words. We’ve had one unforgettable experience after another! It was so surreal to play at Carnegie, and it has been a dream come true to be in NYO2 this year and travel and perform in Scotland :)

While I was there, I did a lot of reflecting on my musical journey and I feel so much immense gratitude for so many people in my life, without whom I would have never made it this far. Thank you to all my mentors, teachers, friends and family who have supported me unconditionally. I truly owe this to all of you 🥹🫶

Thank you @nyo.usa and @carnegiehall for this life-changing opportunity, and thank you @edintfest for welcoming us so warmly into your festival

To everyone I’ve had the privilege of meeting and becoming close with in the past few weeks, I love you and miss you all so very much. This is just the beginning 🙌

It was truly an incredible experience to participate in Essentially Ellington this year!! I can’t put into words how much I gained from this festival. The community, the culture and the music were all so beautiful and inspiring, and this was truly a life changing experience. I am endlessly grateful for everyone who made this possible 🫶 So thankful to be a part of this band and make music with you all!! taken in Jazz at Lincoln Center by @imperfect_harmony

“You start dying slowly
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life. . .
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime,
To run away from sensible advice…”

Two concerts at Ozawa, endless performances and masterclasses… four weeks went by so fast!! It was so amazing to meet so many wonderful musicians and make so many great friends (shoutout to Hawthorne 2 😏) —we’ll totally see each other around! Thankfully, the music world is beautifully small ❤️

It was an honor to have the opportunity to study with incredible musicians in the BSO and the BUTI faculty. Nowhere else have I been so inspired and motivated to improve. Thank you, tanglewood! How lucky are we to be somewhere that makes saying goodbye so difficult 🥲 taken in Tanglewood, Massachusetts by @imperfect_harmony
