About
I am a professional jazz drummer with a strong focus on versatility, coordination, fast chops, and a great sound. I studied drum-set performance at a high level, earning a Berklee degree and a Longy scholarship, and I have built a career as a performing drummer and educator across jazz, world music, and contemporary projects.
I’ve earned first place in Drum Channel’s Beats & Fills 2023, studied under Dave DiCenso and Ralph Peterson, and performed with the Imagine Orchestra, Kevin Harris, and many other artists. I mentor and teach across languages and cultures, balancing performance with education and production.
