About
I am a classically trained violinist with a Master’s in Violin Performance from the University of Colorado Boulder, and international performance experience across Texas, Arkansas, and Michigan. I have performed with orchestras and ensembles in high-stakes settings, including VIP events, which has sharpened my stage presence and collaborative skills. I have recently been hired as a composer for my first short film.
I bring sharp attention to detail, discipline, and client-facing service learned in both the concert hall and fast-paced hospitality environments. I am passionate about helping people, building trust, and creating memorable experiences, and I am excited to bring this energy to a supportive and high-performing piece of music.
