I was born and raised in Hamden, Connecticut, and I am an interdisciplinary artist, musician, writer, and educator. I earned my B.A. in the Humanities from Yale University, where I was selected as a QuestBridge Scholar, a competitive scholarship program supporting high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds.

​

At Yale, I pursued an interdisciplinary course of study that brought together the study of the mind with the study of the arts. I explored psychology and cognition alongside philosophy and ethics, pairing these inquiries with deep engagement in the histories and practices of music, visual art, architecture, and literature. As both a performer and a scholar, I approached the arts not only as objects of study but as living practices, as ways of thinking, questioning, and perceiving. This integration of scientific, humanistic, and artistic perspectives shaped the inquiry at the center of my Humanities degree and grounded my work in aesthetics, ethical reflection, and the role of the arts in shaping how individuals and communities understand the world. My senior thesis explored how poetry, music, and visual experience shape perception, cultivate ethical awareness, and sustain the continuous state of questioning necessary for a just society. This inquiry continues to guide my artistic practice, which invites reflection, wonder, and the freedom to think beyond inherited boundaries.

​

While at Yale, I continued my pursuits as a musician alongside my Humanities studies. I performed as a double bassist in the Yale Symphony Orchestra before beginning my exploration of vocal performance and choral music. I went on to sing in the Yale Glee Club, Chamber Choir, Repertory Chorus, and Recital Chorus, and I performed in the Yale Baroque Opera Project’s production of Cavalli’s Veremonda.

​

After graduating, I helped launch the inaugural Kaleidoscope Vocal Academy, a summer vocal intensive for high school students developed in collaboration with the Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble and the Yale Glee Club through the Yale School of Music. I currently serve as the Tenor Section Leader in the professional quartet at Saint Thomas’s Episcopal Church in New Haven.

​

Across music, visual art, and writing, my work rests on the belief that the arts cultivate curiosity and ethical imagination, both of which remain essential for navigating an ever-changing world. I reject the notion of a single answer or fixed method. Instead, I seek a constant expansion of the ways we perceive, interpret, and understand one another. Alongside my creative practice, I work as an educator committed to broadening access to the arts and fostering environments where creativity and critical thought can take root, with the aim of contributing to a more ethical and just society.
