Besides research, I perform piano.
music has a profound influence in my life. It teaches me how to be a brave woman and express myself under spotlight, for different audiences. I played in a band for several years when I was a teenager, a time I began to learn that music is not just about self-expression, but also about collaboration and listening. It also makes me resilient in life through many ups and downs in piano competitions and teaches me to always lift up the spirit to perform better.
