About me

Introduction I'm a recent graduate of the Goldring Arts Journalism at Syracuse University, where I concentrated in classical music criticism. Currently, I work at the National Symphony Orchestra as a Development Assistant in Corporate and Foundation Relations. While in Syracuse, I served as an editorial intern at Symphony magazine in New York City and as a marketing intern with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, writing feature articles for their monthly program books and working with Music Director Daniel Hege on concert preview columns and videos. I have a background in classical music, having previously studied trumpet, piano, and orchestral conducting at Colby College in Watervile, Maine.
