To Be Like Bamboo...
I don't think I have a spirit animal, but I do have a spirit plant. It's bamboo - as it is very strong, yet bends, making it capable of surviving immense hardship where most other mighty trees and plants would break. To me it signifies great strength and perseverance.

NY Flute Fair: Focal Hand Dystonia and the Working Musician - Panel discussion with Stephanie Mortimore, Dr. Steven Frucht, Eric Phinney, and Abhik Mukherjee. Moderated by Caity Massoud.
Thank you Stephanie Mortimore, Dr. Frucht, Eric Phinney, and Abhik Mukherjee, for making such a huge stride in the area of Focal Hand Dystonia awareness and open communication with the public. This has to be the first panel of musicians with dystonia joining together at a conference to share their insight and experience. What progress!!!

At Orchestra Rehearsal 2020
The rest of the horn section! We just finished a sectional. During rehearsals my nephew Nathan, who I'm teaching horn, sits back stage directly behind us in the large concert hall. We took a goofy photo together during break. 📯

Symphony Orchestra 2020: Dvorak New World
Not my first time playing this symphony, but is my first time playing 4th horn on Dvorak Symphony No.9. It's even more fun playing those awesome low parts and my embouchure dystonia is manageable in this register. But the greatest blessing is playing it with family. Was planning on taking a photo of us all together on stage, but forgot! 📯🎶😊
