About Me Composer, arranger, musical director, and choral singer. I am a recipient of national awards in Brazil (Vocal Brasil CCBB 2012 and Nona Mostra FIL) and the US (MCE Composer Competition 2015-2016) for my compositions, vocal arrangements and choral directing.

My compositions have been performed by ensembles across the US, France, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Lebanon, Japan and Poland. I have performed in several vocal ensembles such as the award winning “Choral Chameleon” the award winning “C4”, “the National Chorale”, “the Salvatones” and “New York Holiday Choristers”. I have been hired as a professional singer by many other church choirs and community choirs in the Tri-State Area. I have served as the accompanist for Hunter College’s Jazz Vocal Workshop and have worked as a freelance composer. Currently, I am a soloist and section leader at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church and live in West New York, New Jersey.
