Thirteen years ago, I began my musical journey training at the New England Conservatory of Music. I am a classically-trained singer who believes in creating warm, welcoming, and uplifting spaces for prayer and discussion. I believe in an accessible and joyful Judaism. For seven years, I served as the Temple Beth Elohim Student Intern. I have had the joy of leading programming and prayer for Jewish communities across the world and was. I’m honored that Jewish Rock Radio named me one of the top Jewish leaders and musicians in North America three times from (2021-2023).

I believes deeply in advocating for the rights of others. I works to build bridges and cultivate empathy through teaching. From workshops and small classes to lectures, I am an educator at heart. I developed curriculum for LGBTQ+ for 7th-11th grade students and love helping with professional development at schools across the country.
