I am a musician, composer, and researcher exploring the intersections of music, cognition, and mental health. A graduate of The College of New Jersey with a background in music technology and computer science, I have collaborated with organizations like the Cancer Center at Robert Wood Johnson. My research focuses on how music impacts emotions and supports well-being, with the goal of bridging music cognition and music therapy.

Outside of research, I am a dedicated musician specializing in rock and metal, drawing inspiration from bands like Pink Floyd and Dream Theater. I also hold a 4th-degree black belt in taekwondo and train with Georgia Tech’s taekwondo team.
