As a Fairfield County native, I came up through the Wilton public school system. Following high school, I attended Western Connecticut State University to earn my Bachelor of Music in Audio and Music Production, with a concentration in Jazz Guitar. In Fall of 2025, I’ll be returning to WCSU to pursue a Master of Music degree in Jazz Pedagogy!

My three main areas of expertise are guitar pedagogy, music production, and music theory. I actively combine those skills when teaching and in my own work. As somewhat of a “jack of all trades,” I encourage all my students to branch out and combine disciplines to nurture their success.

Following my undergrad, I spent 3 years working as an engineer and instructor at a recording studio in Norwalk, CT called Factory Underground. As an engineer, I recorded all sorts of ensembles ranging from podcasts, to full bands. As a teacher, I spearheaded the studio’s education program, developing course work as well as curriculums.
