I grew up on Long Island and classically trained in percussion, dance, and musical theater. Growing up, I always wanted to be in Broadway pit orchestras and played in my high school's musicals. After I graduated high school in 2019, I started my collegiate career as a double major in Percussion Performance and Music Education. During my time at UMD, I took weekly percussion lessons with a variety of teachers (Danny Villanueva, Jauvon Gilliam, Jon Bisesi, and Ji Su Jung). I also took weekly jazz drum set lessons with Steve Fidyk.
After completing my Bachelor of Music in May 2023, I participated in the Sandbox Percussion Seminar which led me to more deeply involve myself in chamber music.
I am interested in all things performing, including: chamber music, pit orchestras, symphony/wind orchestras, and solo work.
