My life’s mission is to make arts education accessible and empowering for all. As a professional jazz pianist, I have performed across the U.S. and internationally with dozens of bands spanning a wide variety of genres and cultures, including classical, rock, musicals, pop, hip-hop, folk, blues, salsa, reggae, Balkan, electronic, R&B, Indonesian gamelan, West African, and Afro-Cuban.

Though I love performing, these diverse experiences have led me to my true passion: teaching. I find joy in opening my students’ imagination and developing their creative skills and talents. I believe art is essential for wellbeing, and play is essential for growth. Through We ArtPlay, I seek to weave a global community of artists and learners of all ages and artistic disciplines.

Let’s spread joy by unlocking our creativity, together!
