About Me
Hello! Thanks for stopping by :)
I’m Alex, a fourth-year at the University of Virginia preparing to graduate in May 2025 with a B.A. in Music (as a Distinguished Major) and Classics (Greek and Latin). I'm driven to build community within and among the Arts, whether it’s singing, playing, event planning, directing, or producing. UVA’s Miller Arts Scholars, a cappella, and theater circles have been the perfect playgrounds for it all.
​
I’m classically trained in voice and violin, and I've picked up acoustic guitar and electric bass along the way. Presently, most of my time is dedicated to my hefty coursework, serving as the Treasurer for an a cappella group, curating the website of a theater troupe, and administrating seven initiatives with Student Council's Arts Agency, just to name a few. 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. Please reach out so we can collaborate!
