I began taking piano lessons when I was seven, and joined my first band in high school. I majored in music at Vassar College, and received my master's degree in music composition and theory from Montclair State University. 



I play piano, guitar, electric bass, and I sing. 



I studied Harry Partch's microtonal theory for several years, and both wrote for and performed with the Montclair State University Harry Partch Ensemble. I was lucky enough to perform once with Dean Drummond's Newband, filling in for a kithara player with a sprained ankle.

​

I'm a member of Headbrain, a group that creates improvised music and multi-media works. Headbrain released a self-titled album in 2011 and has performed at the Hoboken Studio Tour and the Paterson Art Walk.



In 2010, I was a performer in MK Guth's This Fable Is Intended for You: A Work-Energy Principle, which was performed in New York City's World Financial Center Gallery.

​

I teach piano, guitar, bass and ukulele lessons, and have worked at Rutherford Music Exchange and Fusion Academy Montclair.
