I am very fond of composing music in my spare time and have earned a few awards in pursuit of my passion. While in college, one of my compositions for SATB choir won the Philip K. Boxer Dramatic Arts Award and placed 3rd in the Schirmer’s Young Composer Contest. Both of these experiences have helped solidify my passion for composition and have motivated me to write for larger forces, such as symphonic band and full orchestra. In addition to composing, I am also an avid reader of books ranging from music history to music theory publications. I feel that reading only enhances my understanding of music and composition.
