“Life without music is unthinkable. Music without life is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace."
- Leonard Bernstein
I am a professional pianist and musician based in New Jersey, a certified Music Educator, and an incoming graduate student in Piano Performance at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, starting Fall 2026. Music has always been central to who I am — not just something I do, but a lens through which I think and connect with the world.
As a performer, I am drawn to repertoire that balances structure and expression. I approach each work with curiosity, careful attention to its technical demands, and a desire to uncover its emotional core. My goal is clear: to prepare deeply and present music with intention and authenticity.
Teaching remains a meaningful part of my professional life. I guide students of all ages in building strong technical foundations, cultivating thoughtful practice habits, and developing expressive confidence. I believe technique should serve artistry, and that discipline and creativity flourish best in harmony.
I also serve as Alto Section Leader for the Monmouth Civic Chorus, a professional ensemble that has performed at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, New Jersey. My involvement in choral music, along with arranging and conducting projects, continues to enrich me as a collaborative and versatile musician.
Whether performing or teaching, I am dedicated to sharing music in a way that is genuine, impactful, and enduring.
