I am a senior at New Trier High School in Illinois with a passion for music performance, music composition, and filmmaking. Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in music composition programs for high school students at the University of Illinois and Jacob’s School of Music at Indiana University. This summer, I attended the National High School Institute’s Cherubs program for Film Production at Northwestern University. My original compositions and short films have been showcased by various organizations, including the Chicago Haiku Festival, Erika’s Lighthouse, the Eleanor Rose International Film Festival, and the All American High School Film Festival.
