About Me

Thank you for checking out my web page! I am an Assistant Professor of Music Education at Berklee College of Music where I teach about contemporary issues in urban public school systems, research methods, arts leadership, and culturally responsive pedagogy. I earned my Ph.D in urban education leadership and policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston where my dissertation research addressed the connections between White supremacy and gatekeeping in music education. I have a broad background in music education, including public school music teaching, music education non-profit leadership, district arts leadership, and higher education teaching. I also serve on the editorial board for

the Massachusetts Music Educators Journal as the editor of the Jazz and Contemporary Music column. I deliver presentations on topics including the dismantling of White supremacy in education, anti-racism, culturally responsive pedagogy, and culturally generative pedagogy. If anything on the site resonates with you, please reach out—I'd love to connect.
