NU Splash Biography

Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hello! I am a composer and educator getting my PhD at Northwestern University. As a musician, I have written and performed solo, chamber, and theater music. As a teacher, I have taught individuals and classes of all ages. My favorite educational experiences include teaching high school students with disabilities in Boston MA, and teaching Making Waves, a music and STEM program created by the Grammy Award winning ensemble Third Coast Percussion. My favorite composing experience was that one time I wrote an emo ballad about cookies burning in an oven with first graders.

I believe that you - yes, you - are a "music person," and I would love to explore sound creation and music making with you. I hope you will consider taking my course!
