Workshops & Assemblies

Over the past 20 years, my career has taken me across stages and studios, often centered at the intersection of music and technology. As an independent artist, I’ve learned to stay creative and adaptive—combining violin, voice, guitar, synthesizers, and beatboxing through live looping to be the fullest version of myself on stage.

Though I hold a Bachelor’s in Music Performance (violin), that was only one piece of the puzzle. My path has shown me that real growth comes from merging diverse skills—and that’s the philosophy I bring into every educational setting. My program adapts to meet students where they are, whether it’s K–5 assemblies, graduate workshops, or anything in between.

  • For music-focused groups, I dig into theory, composition, arranging, and performance.
  • For STEM audiences, I spotlight the tech I use, the math behind it, and how creativity drives innovation.
  • At schools with recording studios, I guide students through production, engineering, mixing, and content creation.

I was fortunate to have a music teacher that went above and beyond to advocate for me. A moment early in my life shaped everything: just months after picking up the violin in 4th grade, my teacher—who saw something in me—helped me land on stage in front of the school with jazz violin legend John Blake. That spark lit a fire in me, and now, the chance to help create that same spark in students? It’s one of the most meaningful parts of what I do.
