When I began at Trinity, I remember feeling like there were endless opportunities to sink my teeth into.   

In the music studio, I nurtured a love for the viola, and in the art room, I was challenged to try my hand at oil painting – something that I’d always thought was too complex.  

Sometimes, the challenging experiences are the ones to lean into, as great things exist just outside the comfort zone.  

In my later years of school, I was set on becoming an engineer. I really enjoyed science and maths.  

At university, I began studying a Bachelor of Science, but continued playing the viola in parallel with a Diploma in Music. 

It took this experience for me to realise that the path I wanted to go down looked a little bit different. 

So, I decided to change to a Bachelor of Music. 

Now, I am a Viola Fellow with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. 

There are so many ways to express yourself and to contribute to society through music, which I find really invigorating.  

And at a core level, I love how music makes people feel.  

I think it was an accumulation of a vast set of opportunities that I had at Trinity that encouraged me to find and create my own path in and beyond school.
