Hello, and thank you for coming to view my site!

I am the Music Director at the Tuxedo UFSD. On top of spending my days enlightening young minds, I spend my afternoons practicing my coding skills, and building software that will continue at-home music education.

I play a number of instruments…. But, like everyone out there, I do have my favorites! The violin, electric bass and piano are the ones I currently love to jam on.

Higher Education:

Columbia University (2009) M.A. in Music Education

Rutgers University (2007) B.A. in Music, Minor in English

New York Institute of Technology (2016) M.S. in Instructional Technology


Hobbies: Reading anything and everything. I especially like so-called 'Kids' fiction; that's where some of the best authors are at. I also love to cook (and eat) new and tasty things, travel to odd places, and perform music with my students, friends and family.

Favorite Musicians: Pentatonix, Eric Whitacre, Dirty Loops, Scott Bradlee, Vitamin String Quartet, Nickle Creek, Melody Gardot, Janelle Monae, College acapella, and other really, really, REALLY creative & cool music out there.

I have a super duper family composed of Mr. Kurian (my favorite singer of all), two lovely girls, and Charlie, our Havanese. We love to travel, which means we are always excited to hear about your latest (or upcoming) destinations- the more unique, the better!
