UBC School of Music encouraged me to pursue my career as an orchestral musician through its intensive orchestral and chamber programs. I enjoyed my experience as a cello major, receiving opportunities to perform in orchestral concerts and network opportunities with professionals in the music industry. The professors in the string and orchestra programs were encouraging and supportive.
