From an upbringing in Pittsburgh, PA listening to my father perform jazz, to studying and living in Nashville, TN for 10 years. I’ve made my life as a musician by being innovative and creative on stringed instruments. Having finished my masters at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain, I have the tools to be an adaptable musician in almost any genre. My passions are studying folk music from Sweden on my nyckelharpa, using effect pedals on my 6-string violin, and being a strong educator to my audiences and students.
