Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, I am a proud product of public education. I earned my bachelor’s degrees in Music Education and Saxophone Performance from Slippery Rock University, graduating summa cum laude. During my time there, I performed on alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones in various ensembles and produced over 40 audio and visual recording projects.

With experience as a K–12 public school educator, I developed engaging curricula, integrated technology into instruction, and fostered creativity and student growth in the classroom. That work naturally evolved into a broader focus on technology integration and professional training.

I now serve as a Technology Trainer for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, where I design and deliver in-person and virtual training across multiple sites, support Microsoft 365 and Copilot adoption, and build systems that help Archdiocesan and Catholic Charities teams use technology more effectively and confidently. My work bridges instruction, systems thinking, and practical implementation.

Outside of music and technology, I enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures. Some of my favorite places in the U.S. include San Diego, Los Angeles, and New York City, and internationally I have had unforgettable experiences in Europe and South America.
