A Bit About Me

Raised in New Jersey, ya know, the other side of the Hudson River. Not as glorious as growing up in NYC, but experiencing all the culture, I fell in love with serving food. Attending Morris County VoTech for Culinary Arts, on a track to be a great chef. After working as a pastry chef and line cook at Ninety Acres, a five-star fine dining establishment and NJ's top 25 restaurants, I decided to make a career change. To step into the music industry, I attended Emerson College for Business of Creative Enterprises. 
Diving into other creative pursuits and perfecting my passions in digital and film photography, digital art, graphic design, sketching, painting, and utilizing a variety of mediums, I fell in love with aesthetics and design. I furthered this passion, spending a semester abroad at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain, and learning to play Electric Bass, Piano, and starting a visual arts community club on campus for undergrad and grad students. Since returning to the States, I had an internship at CloseUp Jazz, in the East Village. I now work on my side projects with up-and-coming musicians across all genres, creating cover art, photography, designing merchandise, and developing overall branding.
