I'm a musician, composer, and emerging business professional with experience spanning live performance, commissioned composition, and hands-on operations management. On the music side, I've regularly performed in 9 ensembles throughout high school including jazz, symphony, and drumline at venues across the country, and have been selected for prestigious honor ensembles. I work as a freelance composer specializing in chiptune and retro game music, with credits including a commissioned arrangement for the Tetris Company as part of the Tetris Forever project. I compose hardware-accurate music using Furnace tracker, with a focus on PSG chips like the Ricoh 2A03 and POKEY. Beyond music, I've developed real-world leadership and operations experience by contributing to international relations work through the Santa Cruz Sister City Program, where I coordinated delegations and served as a translator for Japanese dignitaries. I'm currently pursuing opportunities at the intersection of music and business.
