Aria has been immersed in music since early childhood, picking up the violin at age 3 and composition at age 7.
Aria earned solo performance opportunities with youth instrumentalist competition wins with the Hershey Symphony Orchestra (2015) and Allegro Orchestra of Lancaster (2017), and placed 2nd in the Birmingham Music Club Guild's college instrumentalist competition (2020). She has championed new music by giving world premieres of works by composers such as Zebedee J. Strudwick.
Aria is fundamentally a romantic and composes in a melodic, tonal style. Her compositions for orchestras and chamber groups have been performed regionally, and she also writes and records for solo violin, on which she enjoys pushing her own limits, technique, and boundaries.
She has subbed as a section player in orchestras such as the Tuscaloosa Symphony and North Mississippi Symphony, and greatly enjoys performing as a chamber musician and solo recitalist.
Aria holds a double Bachelor's in economics and pure math and a Master's in economics (2024) from the University of Alabama.
