I earned my PhD at Yale University in 2018 with a dissertation on Renaissance Italian song, the history of tonality, and cultural theory. I also hold degrees from the University of California, Berkeley (BA) and the University of Oxford (MSt, with distinction). Before arriving at the University of Washington, I held a faculty appointment at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

I have presented my work at numerous conferences, including the annual conferences of the American Musicological Society, the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music, the Renaissance Society of America, and the Society for American Music. Forthcoming articles concern William Byrd and the history of improvisatory formulas during the sixteenth century. In connection with my teaching, I am also working on separate research projects in labor studies and animal studies. 

I am passionately dedicated to teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for my teaching in Yale College I was awarded the Prize Teaching Fellowship. During the 2020-21 academic year I was a Technology Teaching Fellow at the University of Washington. I have also taught an interdisciplinary course of my own design, "Music, Birdsong, and the Limits of the Human," in the Honors Program.

In collaboration with the Labor Archives of Washington, I organize the oral history project Musical Work in the Time of COVID-19, which includes interviews conducted by students in my Music and Labor course at the School of Music. Some of those interviews are publicly accessible here.
