Hobbies
I am currently pursuing further graduate studies in cello performance at the University of Southern California. While attending Harvard, I was also pursuing a master of music degree at New England Conservatory through the joint program between the two schools, and for now I have decided to pursue a career in music. I believe in the importance of creativity and interdisciplinary thinking for academic development, and I always like to share my love of the arts with my tutees. I believe in the importance of incredibly hard work, no matter your talent level, but I'm also fun-loving and approachable and I care deeply about the whole person I tutor, not just the immediate challenges they are facing.
