Available to hire
I’m a dedicated composer and educator based in New Jersey, focusing on nurturing young musicians through hands-on instruction and engaging performance opportunities.
My work as a composer and teacher spans university-level courses, private lessons, and school-wide music programs. I love guiding students to discover their voice and develop strong technical foundations while exploring diverse styles.
