By popular demand, I created a GoFundMe for the many good friends that wanted to support my journey to Paris!

Though I was accepted for my PhD at the renowned L'École normale de musique de Paris “Alfred Cortot” (ENMP) for the 2025/26 academic year, I did not have the available funds for tuition, moving costs, and housing.

My desire is to travel to Paris for an in-person audition in April 2026, and either defer or re-apply to begin in Fall 2026.

Tuition costs roughly $10,000 USD, and as a citizen of Spain, I have a good chance of being accepted for subsidized housing.

My goal is to raise $15,000 to support the above costs.

I have already secured a part-time job in Paris and begun preliminary communications with the school, i.e., deferring, as well as with the Spanish House for housing accommodations.

I have also secured auditions for April 2026 to be hired to sing whilst I attend classes!

To be honest, I have become so accustomed to living with my story that I did not realize how few of my nearest and dearest friends and supporters were unaware of my backstory! The outpouring of love and support I received in response to posting this video is why I decided to make this GoFundMe.

Thank you all in advance for your love, support, prayers, and financial donations! I will be eternally grateful
