I am honored to have the won the 2008-2009 UCSC Student Composer's Orchestral Composition Call for Scores. The UCSC Orchestra will be performing "Expand the Hive" op.60 under the baton of Nicole Paiement. This is my first orchestral piece so I am very excited.
Also being performed will be Carl Orff's Carmina Burana!!

But professionally, this has been the most rewarding year ever...I have been blessed with receiving so many honors and awards....I am truly overwhelmed. Click on the link to see my updated
