    Dear Professor Alessio Bax and Professor Dang Thai Son,
    Throughout our four years together, you amplified within me my curiosity and assiduity for piano performance. You helped me unveil the depths of my emotional self – and by extension, the endless possibilities of musical expression. For this, I am forever grateful. Thank you for supporting my artistic journey in every way – on and away from the keyboard.

    Dear Parents,
    Thank you for your immense love. We share a cosmic power: a collective faith in the unknown and an eternal commitment to each other. How blessed am I to have been instilled with these values of sincerity and truth. Thank you for empowering my pursuit in the arts, I love you!

    Dear NEC Faculty, Staff, and Students,
    Although I only spent one year as a full-time student here, you’ve had a tremendous impact on how I perceive my place in the world. I’ve crossed an intellectual frontier, having been exposed to a plethora of art and repertoire formally unbeknownst to me. I have learned so much, and because of that, I feel more complete. I am honored to be a student of the Harvard / NEC Dual Degree Program, and I will cherish the experience always.
