On April 9th, 2025, I received an email congratulating me on my acceptance into the prestigious 2025 D.C. Trombone Workshop this July as a result of my audition recordings. In addition, I was granted work study to be an administrative assistant due to my experience as the intern for Friends of Music WV during the 2024-25 academic year.

At this workshop, I will participate in activities such as private lessons, orchestral excerpt coaching, trombone choir, career seminars, and many more. This experience will provide me with a solid weeklong trombone education only about four hours away from Weirton.

This workshop is expensive. The work study scholarship is only worth $100. I need to pay an additional $1,155 before April 30th. I hope you will consider donating to help offset this cost.
