I'm a composer, filmmaker, and hammered dulcimer player based between New Haven and NYC. My music has received performances at various festivals, universities, and venues throughout the United States and abroad. I've won awards from the Wortham Center for performing arts, Ione M. Allen foundation, and was most recently awarded the Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. While an undergraduate at Bard College and Conservatory, I studied composition with Joan Tower, George Tsontakis, and Lera Auerbach, piano with Blair McMillen, and dulcimer with David Degge. While there I was the Conservatory’s Joan Tower Composition Scholar. For my work with film, I've won the Sidney Peterson prize in experimental film, “Best Original Score” by the Dreamachine international film festival, and Official Selections from other Montreal and Los Angeles based festivals. In 2021, I was honored as the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship finalist at the Walnut Valley music festival in Winfield, Kansas. After a fellowship at the Fromm foundation Composers Conference in 2022, I began graduate studies in composition at the Yale School of Music. --- **Employment and project experience** **Composer** "One Half" Dir.
