About

I am currently a first-year at Harvard University. My  journey into composition began during the Covid pandemic, in the midst of isolation. While watching movies such as Totoro with my little sisters, I was drawn to Studio Ghibli music. At the same time, I was taking piano lessons over Zoom and independently trying to work my way through Chopin's nocturnes. I first began humming my own music while working on my pandemic project of building a chicken coop. This is when I began to lean on composition as a way to connect to myself and hopefully others.

From the beginning, I was fortunate enough to work with my piano teacher, composer Amanda Harberg. I furthered my formal composition studies during my summers at Interlochen and Brevard Music Centers. Here, I gained valuable experiences working with performers and composers which gave me insight and depth to my work.
