About

I’m a pianist and conductor with a passion for teaching and leading ensembles. I earned a Bachelor in Piano Performance from Universidad EAFIT and am pursuing a Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting at UBC, with professional experience teaching piano and directing choirs and youth orchestras.

I believe music is a powerful vehicle for teamwork, empathy, and the arts, and I love creating projects that help people grow, both on stage and off.

I have experience arranging music for small and medium ensembles, with a deep understanding of various genres.
