I've been working with music since early childhood, with over two decades as a professional musician spanning classical training, touring, recording, and teaching. I'm a classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist who has worked as a performer, composer, arranger, and educator across genres and contexts.
My background includes conservatory training and fifteen years of teaching from early childhood through college level, alongside performing with regional orchestras and touring internationally with established bands. As a songwriter and bandleader, I've released music on independent labels and performed at festivals including SXSW and Lollapalooza, working across violin, guitar, keyboards, and vocals.
Music has been where I learned to hold detail and intuition simultaneously—memorizing lengthy concertos while trusting emotional instinct, creating compositions that respond to specific contexts and collaborations. This experience continues to inform how I approach creative work.
