She wrapped up her tenure with the band performing in Europe at Jazz à Vienne in France, North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands, and Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy.

End of Semester Reflections 🎶🍂 As I wrap up my first semester in the Berklee School of Music graduate track, part of the incredible Harvard-Berklee Dual Degree Program, I’m filled with gratitude and inspiration. Studying under the mentorship of Francisco Mela, a GRAMMY®-Nominee and an Associate Professor at Berklee, has been nothing short of transformative. His expertise, passion, and guidance have deeply enriched my musical journey. This experience is a dream come true for any music student, and I’m beyond excited to see where this path leads me. Here’s to many more semesters of growth, learning, and music! 🎹📚 #BerkleeHarvardJourney #FranciscoMelaMentorship #MusicGradLife #HarvardBerklee
