Facing a deteriorating backyard foundation, I decided to build a new deck. The project involved leveling the ground,  assembling supports , and arranging planks in an appealing pattern. I added a fence and applied a protective finish to the wood. This project provided an excellent opportunity to practice my machining and design skills.

As a music major, my passion extended to playing the Bb Clarinet, and I had the privilege of being a part of the Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra. Together, we ventured across the globe, competing in Wind Ensemble competitions in renowned cities like Barcelona, New York, and London.

Throughout this incredible journey, I had the honor of sharing the stage with exceptionally talented musicians, including luminaries like Larnell Lewis, John Mackey, Jens Lindemann, and Johan De Meij. These collaborations enriched my musical experience, allowing me to grow as a musician.
