as Composer

My body of work as a composer is quite versatile. In 2022, I earned an MFA in Music Composition from Vermont College of Fine Arts, where I studied one-on-one with some of my creative heroes, Ravi Krishnaswami, Carla Kihlstedt, and John Mallia. During this time, I began to accept and explore how to consolidate my extensive musical and creative interests. This task has proven to be, perhaps, a life-long task. In the meantime, I continue to songwrite, score for film, compose for chamber ensemble, and more.

“Freedom’s Descent” performed by Vangeline Theatre

My original score to “Freedom’s Descent,” as heard in Vangeline Theatre’s performance at NYC Dancefest 2025. I closely collaborated with Butoh dancer and choreographer Yazmin Gonzalez to create this ambient eight-minute fixed-media composition. This collaborative process involved passing drafts of audio back-and-forth, to be danced and rehearsed to, then modified for length, sound, and movements. It all came together in just ten days.
