Talented, gifted, intellectual, and precocious are a mere few of the numerous adjectives which my family members, instructors, and peers use to describe me, yet what do these words reveal about who I truly am? I cannot be summarized in an enumeration of terms alone. I am a unique character. I possess an inquisitive mind, always seeking to acquire more knowledge, and question the world around me. This determination leads to my quest to excel in all aspects of life whether it is academically, artistically, or socially. I graduated from high school at the age of 16 among the top 5 percent of students in the nation earning recognition in Who's Who Among American High School Students, the National Honor Roll, and membership in the National Society of High School Scholars.
Classical music has played a major role in my life. When I was two years old I boldly annonunced to my parents that I wanted to be a concert pianist and implored that they purchase a piano for me after watching a performance on PBS. My dream finally became a reality when I was 5 years old. I had my first piano lessons under the tutelage of my father. The following year I gave my first public concert. At age 7 my parents enrolled me at the Conservatory of Fine Arts in Miami, FL after my father realized that I was exceptionally talented and would have to receive more formal training. I went on to win numerous prizes at regional talent shows, and at age 11 gave a 2-hour solo debut at the Cultural Arts Center in Royal Palm Beach, FL. A few years after that I was featured among renowned concert artists at the Guild for International Piano Competitions.
Currently I am pursuing a Bachelor of Music in piano performance and Bachelor of Arts in psychology. Most recently I was awarded Most Outstanding Freshman Instrumental Performer. It is my ambition to share my love and gift of classical music with all members of society in an effort to illuminate the lives of a multitude of people regardless of culture, religion, creed, or background. Music is my principal medium of expression and will always constitute a part of who I am as a human being.
