I joined Hanabi initially because to improve my musical skills and challenge myself to learn different styles and genres, and I’ve come to realize how exciting and benefiting it is to perform in front of an audience.

I am uncertain what career I should pursue in the future.

I always admired Ensemble Hanabi because of how much fun EVERYBODY seemed to having, and now that I’ve joined them, I will try my best to catch up to the other members, perform at more events, and find more people that love our performances.

In the future I want to be a dermatologist, physical therapist, or even a music therapist.
