Uplifting community. Growing together.

Every Sunday, residents of Brookdale Senior Living can hear the whisper and thunder of the grand piano, from the tension in Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor to the storytelling of Chopin's Scherzo No. 1. Or, they may walk into the playful cacophony of a Chinese flute, savor the quiet strumming of a guitar, or relish the ache and bloom of a solo vocalist's rendition of Schubert's Ave Maria. 

That is my goal in directing and expanding Musicians of the Hearth—a warm name that may inspire people to cherish music together. Whether it is for the elderly who can sit down and relax to soothing music pieces, or performers who take one step at a time in conquering their stage fright, our student performance group hopes to create lasting memories for all.

We've come a long way. At 120+ volunteers and multiple city-wide branches, we're still looking for more performers! Want to participate? https://musiciansofthehearth.wixsite.com/moth

Leland Bridge, short for Leland Bridge Parents Group, is a parent-teacher association dedicated towards raising funds to school programs such as Speech and Debate and 604 Robotics, incoming students with orientations and information sessions.

As the organization's Student Editor-in-Chief, I've published 5 articles on behalf of Leland Bridge, volunteered at public fundraising events, and spoke at student seminars hosted to give incoming students more information about high school life and culture. 

I especially enjoyed recording interviews and speaking with some of the students—check this one out here!
