I am a banjo player, composer, and ethnomusicologist. I've written about South Asian and bluegrass music, and perform original music at the intersection of bluegrass and jazz. My current research is on pedagogy and lifelong creative practice.

I hold a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from the University of Texas at Austin and am an assistant professor of music at Warren Wilson College. Listen to my debut solo album here.
