About Me
Hello! Thanks for stopping by :)
I’m Alex, a recent grad from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Music and Classics (Greek and Latin). I'm passionate about building community within and among the Arts, whether it’s singing, playing, event planning, directing, or producing.
​
I’m classically trained in voice and violin, and I've picked up acoustic guitar and electric bass along the way. Recently, I wrapped up my summer in Cooperstown, NY, serving as an Artistic Administration Apprentice for the Glimmerglass Festival's 50th season. If your project is centered around the Arts, a passionate team, and the thrill of a live production, I want to be involved!
​
I’m on the lookout for roles in live arts scenes where I can dive into performance, production, or arts management across major metropolitan areas of the Northern East Coast. Let's collaborate!
