Michelle is a current third-year student at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music studying French Horn performance with Professor Amy Sanchez. Michelle is an active member of the UCLA Orchestras, Wind Ensemble, Contemporary Jazz Ensemble, and frequently plays with local pit and symphony orchestras throughout Los Angeles.

In recent summers, Michelle has attended music festivals such as the Interlochen Arts Camp, Boston University Tanglewood Institute & Young Artists Program, and Eastern Music Festival. This past summer, she participated in the Miami Music Festival on an Orchestral Fellowship, which provided her the privilege of performing fully staged operas and symphonic works with world class conductors and incredibly talented colleagues from around the globe.    There, she was introduced to the wonderful mission and organization of Sound Impact!

Michelle dedicates the foundation of her musical passion to the study and performance of chamber music. Previously a member of the Gluck Fellowship Woodwind Quintet, and now a member of the Gluck Fellowship Horn Quartet, she deeply enjoys sharing the beauty and joy of musical storytelling as well as elevating the visions of underrepresented musicians throughout    the greater Los Angeles area.

Outside of music, Michelle loves to bake, draw, hike, read, thrift, host karaoke battles and learn about art history!
