Meaningful Personal Musical Experience(s) |
An undergraduate musical highlight was performing the Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra chamber ensemble. More recently, I love playing for veterans' groups because it is so meaningful and fulfilling. |

I enjoy performing a wide variety of musical genres, with a particular affinity for Broadway medleys, pop, and nostalgic audience favorites |

Outside of my work in the advertising industry, I'm obsessed with my Peloton bike, an avid reader of fiction and self-proclaimed foodie. |
