About

I'm a 26 year old violinist, born and raised in NYC. In my professional life, I play a healthy mix of classical and contemporary music, mostly in chamber music and solo settings. I'm usually in NYC, but I often travel to perform across the US and internationally.

Education:
- Master of Music degree from Manhattan School of Music
- Bachelor of Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory
- Bachelor of Arts degree from Oberlin College
