In 2018, she received her Bachelors of Music in Cello Performance from the University of Maryland, College Park, under the tutelage of both Dr. David Teie, and Dr. Eric Kutz and recently completed her Bachelors of Music Education. She has worked for the National Philharmonic, Interlochen Center for the Arts, the Kennedy Center, and is currently the Principal Cellist of Capital City Symphony and Director of Instrumental and Choral Music at Silver Creek Middle School. Preetcharn's passions do not only manifest on stage but, though her love of education and service as well. She is extremely passionate about diversifying arts education and utilizing the ubiquity of music as a social and cultural binding agent. In 2019 Preetcharn got involved with the Miss America Organization, specifically the Miss Maryland Scholarship Org. She currently holds the title of Miss Allegany County. Through this program, she has been able to gain educational funding as well as a medium to grow her own scholarship organization. The Miss Maryland Organization was the catalyst for her program, Resonate, which has blossomed from a lofty idea into a concrete program which allows her to use her title to give back to her community and provide scholarship assistance to other minorities in the arts. |
