Hi, I’m Fiona!

I grew up in Greenville, North Carolina, and have been attending East Carolina University for the past three years! Under the instruction of Ara Gregorian, Hye-Jin Kim, and Jorge Richter, I have been honing my skills to prepare for grad school and beyond. My goal is to eventually graduate with a DMA and continue giving private instruction through an academy, college, or university, as well as continuing to perform in outreach concerts!

As a violinist who started at 10 years old through the public school system, I am a very strong believer in making music education accessible. I was not born into a classical music family, so I am thankful for the opportunities I was given due to outreach programs and concerts. Classical music does not have to be such a complicated, pressuring, and intimidating genre; it is truly for anyone and everyone <3

Other than practicing violin, I also enjoy coffee, collecting vinyl records, weight lifting (as seen in the goofy picture on the right), sewing, thrift shopping, and lying on the couch with my cat, Moe.
