I am very excited to say that I have just completed my second year at Florida State University as a Vocal Performance major! I am so grateful for my community's prayers and encouragement.

As I look forward to the next steps in my education, I humbly ask for your support in my next venture. I am excited to announce that I've been accepted into “Si Parla, Si Canta”, a renowned voice program in Lake Maggiore, Italy. This program focuses on furthering knowledge of Italian culture and operatic repertoire, with a special focus on language. As they say on their website, they believe that the better you "parla," the better you "canta!" It will take place from June 10th- July 8th and consists of daily Italian classes, voice lessons, masterclasses, and the opportunity to perform in various venues around Northern Italy. 

Attending this program would be a dream come true and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been considered for it. It would be a privilege to have the chance to expand my craft in such a meaningful way.

However, as I'm sure you're aware, traveling to Europe during the summer months can be quite costly. In addition to tuition, I will also need to cover my own housing, food, and transportation expenses. I've already made some initial payments for tuition, my flight, and housing, but there is still quite a bit left to cover.

With my departure date quickly approaching, I would be extremely grateful for any support you could offer towards this incredible experience. Your contribution would not only help me achieve my dream of attending this program, but it would also be an investment in my future and my continued growth as an artist.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration! I am grateful for your support and prayers and hope to see you soon!
