I'm a dedicated composer and performer who loves writing music for visual media and the concert stage. I explore color and texture across chamber works, piano solos, and horn repertoire, aiming to connect with audiences through expressive melodies and thoughtful storytelling. I enjoy teaching, collaborating with ensembles, and pushing creative boundaries. My goal is to bring vibrant, cinematic music to new projects, while continuing to grow as a composer, performer, and conductor.
