What I'm looking for

I am seeking music production, recording, or composition roles where I can apply studio engineering, composition, and performance skills in collaborative, growth-minded environments.

I am a jazz-trained saxophonist and commercial music technology student who combines performance, composition, and studio production skills to create polished recordings and film scores.

I have led ensemble sections in collegiate marching band roles, served in leadership for Kappa Kappa Psi, and completed multiple solo releases where I acted as artist, recording engineer, mixer, and producer.

Technically proficient in Sibelius, Musescore, Pro Tools, GarageBand, and multiple editing tools, I aim to bring creative musical ideas to professional recording and media projects while contributing strong organizational and teaching experience.
