In a New Country, Everything Requires Courage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two weeks ago, I moved halfway across the world by myself to chase my dreams of becoming the best flutist, artist, and person I can be. And although two weeks isn’t really long enough to speak eloquently on what it means to move to another country alone, there are a few things that I’ve learned and realized in just these fourteen days that have shaped and changed how I see the world, and I want to share them with you. Already I feel like my perspective has changed so much— changed as in deepened
My Practice Notes This Week (09/24/2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Divas,Welcome back to my weekly Practice Notes! I am so excited to be back and sharing these notes with you every single week… and this time, I’m writing these to you from France! It’s been two weeks since I left my home in Canada to explore a life in Europe, and I have been completely on Cloud 9, even with the fatigue and the stress of moving.

Every Flute I've Ever Owned! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bestie, I have been on a long walk down memory lane for the last few months— whether it’s reflecting on eight years of consecutive post-secondary education, reflecting on my time in my hometown before I move halfway across the world, or reflecting on the person I’ve been and the person I’ve become. I guess I’m on a nostalgic kick these days! My friends over at Flute Center inspired me to think back to all of the flutes I’ve had the pleasure of owning over my time as a flute player, and today I w
