WELCOME!
Nice to meet you.
I'm a performer: cello, opera, musical theatre, improv comedy...put me on a stage & I'll entertain you. It's taken me everywhere from The Grammys to Coachella to The Tonight Show.
Throughout my career, I discovered additional purpose in artist mentorship & providing universal access to the arts. After a decade with the LA Phil and five years as Executive Director of El Sistema USA/Salinas (YOSAL), I now serve as Vice President of Education & Community Engagement at Pacific Symphony. I also founded Performancy, a platform & community to support performers as they launch their careers.
Not sure where to start?
Let's
connect.
I get it. The arts world can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re figuring things out on your own. Whether you’re a student, a performer in transition, or just someone who loves this field and wants to stay connected, I’m glad you’re here. You’re always welcome to reach out.
