I’m a composer and vocalist interested in stories and resonance. I’m also the founder of Next Sounds, a classical and new music concert series based in Manhattan.

My music has been premiered by the Etchings Festival, International Contemporary Ensemble, and Radius Ensemble. I've performed in venues as diverse in range from LA’s Viper Room to NJPAC. I've also played throughout nyc in venues such as Dixon Place, the cell, Cornelia Street Café, NYU's Kimmel Center, and pangea, in addition to Kansas City’s Immaculate Conception Cathedral and university of missouri, kansas city’s white hall and grant hall.

My Master’s thesis for Tufts University (2022) set the poetry of the nearly forgotten Cuban poetess, Juana Borrero, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 18. Her inner world was a dramatic interplay of light, love, darkness, death, and destiny. I was inspired to learn to compose so that I could tell her story. I premiered this song cycle at The Immaculate Conception Parish in Salem, MA in May 2022. I will release the Borrero project as my debut first recording this year. I served as the graduate teaching assistant for University of missouri, kansas City’s composition department for three semesters, where I taught labs on instrumentation, notation, and 20th century counterpoint. I also taught private composition lessons to undergraduate composers. Currently I’m in my final year of my DMA and will graduate in 2025. i scored a high pass on my dma comprehensive exams this fall.

I believe music speaks to us through beauty and mystery. And I like opening doors to this discreet realm.
