She was a prize winner/finalist in the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, the 6th International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, the International Debussy Competition at the Salzburg Mozarteum and the 2017 1st Berliner International Music Competition. As a passionate chamber musician, she has been invited to participate in the Marlboro Music Festival and IMC Prussia Cove.
