Council Member | Piscataway High School

As a violinist and multi-instrumentalist, the school orchestra has taught me invaluable skills like discipline and collaboration while connecting me with passionate musicians and wonderful directors. My dance education from a young age shaped me through teaching the value of hard work and consistent effort despite challenges. After teaching both art forms, I’ve witnessed firsthand how rewarding performing arts education is for children.

My media arts education led directly to my current career as a content creator and my business selling photography and videography content to companies. This work over the past three years has created opportunities like becoming a creator for College Board and supporting my family through financial hardship. My success can be attributed to skills learned through media arts education, proving that arts education is valuable for every lifestyle.
