I received my BM in Professional Performance and Professional Music from Berklee College of Music in 2012 and MA in Germanic Studies from California State University, Long Beach in 2015. During the 2015-2016 academic year, I worked as an English Teaching Assistant (ETA) in Salzburg, Austria through the Austrian American Educational Commission. I joined the German Graduate program at Vanderbilt University in 2016 and the Comparative Media Analysis and Practice (CMAP) Program in 2017. My interests include sonic aesthetic theory and discourses surrounding changes in perception and synesthetic theory in the early 20th century.
