About me

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the world of music, and I began playing the piano at the age of 5. At age 8, I was introduced to electronic music, at which point I immediately became interested in producing and composing my own electronic music. I learned to compose my own music in the computer environment from my piano teacher at the time, David Larstein, and he mentored me in composition for over 10 years. I enrolled in the University of Oregon’s Music Technology program, and am currently studying there. I have had my compositions showcased both within and outside the University, and look to pursue a graduate degree to further advance my musical and technical abilities.
