I like to write music, stories, and doodle.

My program notes have been described as “silly cartoon,” & my humanity as “very human.”

I was born in San José, California, to a family of teachers, and studied at Bard College & Conservatory.

After graduating, I participated in Stowe’s Tango Music Festival where I had my first bandoneón lesson and played cello in the orchestra.

I now live in Portland, Oregon, with my partner and five cats, playing bandoneón as much as I can.
