I've just found out that I am a finalist in the Professional Division of @americanprize for Music Composition in Chamber Music! It's such an honor to be considered! 😁

So obviously my favorite part of "Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning part 1' was the score! Lorne Balfe was impressive but he's also a survivor of the Hans Zimmer sweat shop so I guess I'm not that surprised.

On a bit of a Cillian Murphy marathon!

I am being triggered by everything today...

It's time that accept the fact that I have geriatric feet and act accordingly. I have the foot soles of an 80 year old woman and lately my grandma's shoes are the only ones that don't hurt.

It feels nice to be wanted but, boy is it hard to choose!

When your work speaks louder for you than you ever could!

Deep breaths. Nice. Deep. Breaths.

I feel like I need new headshots... 😂

Reputation is fragile.

Okay composer friends, what's the worse advice someone's ever given you about music that you're grateful you never took?! @piargno84 @musicallyphresh @Kimpositions @josephsowa @ComposerNina @WilsonComposer @JessicaComposer @SeanBeeson @arthurbreur @NTranComposer @MGComposer

I think my favorite thing about teaching music composition is all of my musical training up to this point comes into play. Music theory, music history, performance experience, it's all apart of it.

My mental health, my self-worth, and my peace is worth more than any amount of money... . . . I just have to keep telling myself that.

It must be exhausting to be so hateful.

This. Is. EXHAUSTING.

The Color Purple hits differently as an adult. I've probably seen this film a dozen times and now at 30 y.o. I feel like I'm watching it for the first time!

Sometimes your friends have to help you remember your worth, and that's okay too.
