I started learning the cello at age 6. My teachers include Nathan Cottrell, Laszlo Mezo, and Vladimir Panteleyev. I also had the opportunities to play in the master classes conducted by Laszlo Mezo, a founding member of the Bartok String Quartet, Robert deMaine, the principal cellist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Claus Kanngiesser, professor from Musikhochschule in Cologne. For chamber music, I studied with Roberto Cani, the Concertmaster of LA Opera. In the past four summers, I attended the Cremona International Music Academy in Italy. I have performed as a soloist at Merkin Hall, two times at Weill Recital Hall, the Museo del Violino in Cremona, Italy, and at the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) in Brussels, Belgium.
