I am originally from Ames, Iowa, and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Music degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Iowa in the studio of Dr. Rène Lecuona. I completed a Master of Music degree at the University of Miami studying with Professor Tian Ying where I had the privilege of performing the Seaborne Concerto for percussion sextet, orchestra, and film as a winner of the 2021 concerto competition. I received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Lawrence Conservatory of Music in the studio of Dr. Catherine Kautsky where I was awarded Lawrence University’s Marjory Irvin Prize for Excellence in Piano Performance.
