I'm a composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist, with a love for jazz piano and composing for the screen. 

I'm also a Cognitive Science student at Dartmouth College, focusing on language, thought, and creativity. My research focuses on the connections between language, thought, and memory, and on musical surrogate languages. I am fascinated by human cognition—specifically how we process and create language and sound. I am passionate about making tools that help creators create. 

My favorite place to be is at the piano bench, blank sheet of staff paper in front of me, where I draw inspiration from Bill Evans, Fazil Say, Philip Glass, Maurice Ravel, and João Gilberto. Growing up in NYC, I was exposed to a diverse range of artists and musicians who continue to shape the way I think about creating. 

I began playing piano at age five, started studying jazz piano in middle school under the instruction of Joe Block, and trained at the Manhattan School of Music's precollege jazz program under Jeremy Manasia. I am open to collaborations and commissioned works; I play private events, concerts, and festivals solo and as a bandleader, and teach private lessons in piano, music theory, and drums.
