In all that I do, I aspire for excellence.

​I want to be the best person that I can be, supporting others in their endeavors and fostering community, whether it be local or worldwide.  I want to be the best musician that I can be, and to keep my mind open to the ever-changing nature of the contemporary.  I aspire to use my musical skills to highlight the here and now, and promote the growth of diversity and representation in the musical world.  I aspire to take pride in my work no matter the result, since each mistake and failure gives me a point to grow from.  Growth cannot be without the existence of failure.  In my daily endeavors, I work to treat others with kindness and be as welcoming as I can possibly be.  I vow to never settle into thinking that I have learned everything, since there is something to learn from everything and everyone, in every moment of my life.

In all that I do, I do it with love.
