Born and raised in Louisville, KY, I began studying piano at the age of 6 with Judith Kennedy Zinner and Daniel Light.  I attended the Youth Performing Arts School where I studied piano with Rebbecca Hartsell-Samson. I have Bachelors of Music in Piano Performance from Columbia College Chicago where I studied Piano (Classical and Jazz), Music Theory, Harmony, and Pedagogy with Sebastian Huydts, Peter Saxe, Donald Neale, and Bette Coulson. 

As a performer, I have been heard in solo and in chamber settings, and I have participated in masterclasses with notable pianists: Chicago Symphony Keyboardist- Mary Sauer, Spencer Myer, Jonathon Powell, and Alex Alguacil,  As an accompanist,  I regularly accompany singers, choirs and instrumentalists across Chicago. This Fall I am excited to begin as Associate Keyboardist for the Civic Orchestra.
