About

Having grown up in the Bay Area and having done my undergrad at Azusa Pacific University in Southern California, I completed my grad studies at The Boston Conservatory with Rhonda Rider and got my M.M. and a Professional Studies Certificate. I mainly play classical music but also love to improvise and play other genres as well; I'm always exploring contemporary classical music and love to dabble in pop, film music, and recording. I have a background in piano and sang in choir since first grade. I'm the cellist in the recently formed Esther Charis Piano Trio based inLA. My hobbies include photography, traveling, journaling, watching my favorite TV shows, and eating! I love performing in any and all aspects and am open to different ideas and would love to collaborate!
