About

Driven by story.

I am driven by story in everything I write. My role is to support and elevate the narrative, never to compete with it.

With a foundation in classical and jazz, I understand tradition deeply and know when to step beyond it. I combine orchestral writing with hybrid textures to shape a distinct sonic identity for every project.

I moved to Boston at eighteen to study at Berklee College of Music, where I refined the technical precision of my craft and developed practical experience rehearsing and recording large ensembles.

Now, having graduated early, I am focused on expanding my body of work and composing scores that linger long after the lights come up.

“My role is to support and elevate the narrative — never to compete with it.
