Originally from Boston, I currently serve as viola second soloist in the Opera Orchestra National Montpellier in Montpellier, France, and teach viola and violin. Before moving to Montpellier, I was a member of the Kammerakademie Potsdam academy (KAPCampus) and have previously played as guest solo viola with the Anhaltische Philharmonie Dessau and in the viola sections of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Academy of American Music, the Charleston Symphony, and the Boston Philharmonic. I studied with former Berlin Philharmonic principal violist Wilfried Strehle at the Universität der Künste Berlin and with Misha Amory at The Juilliard School. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree at Tufts University with a major in Biopsychology and a minor in music, studying viola with Rictor Noren. I play on a 2010 Reto Gasser viola.
