I graduated from McGill University with a B.A in Music, Social Entrepreneurship, and Medieval Studies.

As the coordinator for the entire K-8, I facilitate performance classes, private lessons, and music classes to provide high quality and free music education to students in New York City. Part-time, I am the Production and Marketing Assistant of a non-profit music organization, Tribeca New Music, and the Executive Assistant for a freelance CFO for non-profits in New York and the Hamptons. I recently completed a Marketing Internship at the Kronos Performing Arts Association. From 2022-2023 I was the Creative Enterprise Apprentice in the Office of the President at The Juilliard School, working with my colleagues to create and produce interdisciplinary performances and events across the organization. From 2018-2022, I was the editor and cohost of the radio show All Things McGill, working with my peers to create new and fresh content each week.
