About
I'm a musician, writer, and producer.I'm a musician, writer, and producer. I grew up on a nature preserve and animal sanctuary in upstate New York, deeply connected to the earth, and music became my first language. I earned a pre-collegiate diploma in jazz piano and voice from the Eastman School of Music, and later completed a master's in music production at Berklee's program in Valencia, Spain. My debut album In Whose Eyes arrives in 2026, a jazz/soul project co-produced by four-time Grammy winner Larry Klein, featuring Christian McBride and Braxton Cook, a coming of age story about the feminine reclaiming her voice through nature, seen through the eyes of animal, tree, human, soil, and sky. I'm also a published poet (The Taste of Pomegranate Seeds, Wipf & Stock) and co-host the iHeart podcast "In Service Of," with guests like Jane Goodall and Jeff Goldblum.

Project Goals for the next 6-12 Months
I'm excited to be co-creating on a few different projects right now.I'm excited to be co-creating on a few different projects right now. One is a deep listening album with The Birdsong Project, where musicians collaborate with birdsong atop beds of healing frequencies — a project centered on co-creating with nature as a pathway to healing feelings of separation. I'm also turning my poetry and prose book into an audiobook/album, a project rooted in my own story of healing from trauma through reconnecting to nature. Around that release, I hope to curate evenings of music and poetry, bringing together musicians and poets in spaces of community and sharing. If any of this resonates with you or you'd love to be involved, I'd love to hear from you.
