I have been teaching voice and piano for the last four years. I worked with a voice teacher back home where he taught me classical and pop/rock singing. I am very involved to every single student and I arrange the lesson accordingly.

I continue to teach in Jersey City and Manhattan, and look forward to adding new students to my roster. Read More

Hey! I am a performer, and I love to find various ways to perform as a musician, actor, comedian, and teacher/tutor/mentor. I love to connect and communicate with audiences and/or students through my voice, my jokes, or my instruments. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2012 with a bachelors in Psychology and Theater Arts, and spent much of my time performing on stage in musicals and plays.
