From scaling backyard trees and building rooftops as a child to exploring the world’s most iconic skylines today, my sense of adventure has remained a constant thread in my life. I am an incredibly active traveler who believes in squeezing every drop of experience out of a journey; there is simply too much to see to stay still. This same drive for mastery extends to my musical life, where I play the viola at a professional level—to the point where I could pivot into a major orchestra if I chose to. My background is rooted in the music industry, where I’ve spent years blending my creative talents with an entrepreneurial spirit to navigate the business side of the arts.

While music and travel occupy much of my time, I also possess a deeply analytical side that I rarely shout from the rooftops. I hold a BA in Music with a minor in Math, and I even completed the coursework for a Master’s in Music Performance. My comfort with numbers and logic—bolstered by that math degree—provides a grounded balance to my more artistic pursuits. When I need to truly disconnect and “turn the world off,” I dive into Rocket League. It’s my favorite selfish hobby, allowing me to sharpen my reflexes and focus purely on the game. Whether I’m analyzing a complex score, a balance sheet, or a new city from above, I’m always looking for the next peak to climb.
