I am a composer/educator currently residing in Panama City, Florida. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with my MM in Music Composition. Within the Hayes School of music, I worked as a Tui St. George Tucker Fellow in Composition and as a graduate assistant for the Lab for Learning, Research, and Technology. My harmonic language is generally tonal/modal and my melodies tend to be lyrical in nature. I have written for large and small chamber ensembles, wind ensemble, and solo instruments. In 2021, I was a finalist in the AMEA Composition Competition for my piece Nocturne for Horn and Piano. Since then I have had the opportunity to write for several professional ensembles including Ensemble Dal Niente, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and Hub New Music. I’ve attended and had premieres at the Brevard Summer Music Festival, the Composer’s Sandbox, and the Walden School Creative Musicians Retreat. My undergraduate studies were in Music Education at Troy University. While enrolled at Troy, I studied composition with Traci Mendel. At App State, I studied with Roger Zare, and Nicholas Cline.
