Thanks for stopping by my page! As a music and media composer, I've had multiple songs placed with streaming services and film libraries and considered for major film ops in both the U.S. and abroad. In 2016, I won an award in my first film scoring competition, The Indie Gathering Film Scoring Competition. In 2017, I won an Honorable Mention in the International Horror Hotel Film Scoring Competition, and placed in the Top 12 in the Indie Gathering Film Scoring Competition. I also composed the end credits for the Independent Film Short, "Sides," and began working for Friday Pop Cafe Music as a songwriter/composer/arranger and lyricist. In 2019, I was presented with the "Emerging Composer Diversity Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition," presented by the Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards in partnership with the Alliance for Women Film Composers as a result of my entry in the 2018 Film Scoring Contest. In 2020, I composed the music for NASA/JPL's NISAR Launch and Deployment spacecraft animation video. In 2023, "Celestial Lullaby (Organic)" ft. String Fever Studio was a finalist in the InterContinental Music Awards for best Contemporary Instrumental in America. I currently attend Berklee College of Music Online where I'm pursuing a degree in Music for Film, TV and Video Games. So remember, no matter how old you are, you're never too old to pursue your passion and share your joy with others. Cheers!
