About Me


As a full-time classical pianist and music educator with varied interests spanning science, astrophysics, dance, and esoteric studies, I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Psychology. Beyond my musical pursuits, I am actively involved in community work, particularly in supporting children on the autism spectrum through volunteer work at the Amy Biehl Foundation in Cape Town.
