2025
Louisville Makes Games hosted another annual Game Harvest (in conjunction with Art Sanctuary), featuring over 50 indie game devs showcasing original games to the public! It was a excellent opportunity to volunteer with the local dev community and watch live music, gaming and overall community in action.
I attended LexPlay, a showcase of Kentucky-made video games, and it made for a fun afternoon! I got to play original games and learn about the inspiration for local developers and students alike. This was my introduction into my local community for game development.
Had a blast participating in a game jam hosted by Warp Zone in Louisville, KY! It was my first jam -- meeting other composers, listening to their music and exchanging ideas was a cool experience I won't soon forget.
"Warp Zone: The Musical" was a fundraising event hosted by Louisville Makes Games celebrating musicians and their contributions to local game development. It was great to meet other composers and exchange ideas and share tunes!
GameSoundCon 2025 was an absolute blast! My second year was spent learning from all kinds of music designers, composers and music supervisors across all levels of the video game industry.
It felt so great to be back!
The Indie Den provided opportunities to attended live interviews with some big names in the industry, and I was excited to hop on as a viewer to a Twitch stream with Jason Della Roca and Thomas Mahler and learn gather valuable insights about the industry.
I was incredibly excited to attend "The Stars of Innovation with Susan Calloway" hosted by the National Association of Teachers of Singing (Boston Chapter). It was a wonderful experience to speak with and gain insights and advice from a wildly successful musician in the commercial music industry!

My fourth collection of songs was an imagined story cycle that could form the backbone of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
I was hired by Studio Players in Lexington, KY to compose 80s/90s chiptune music and SFX for an original play titled "Moon Logic" in a 10-minute play festival. This was a blast to work on--I had the pleasure of connecting with David Lipschutz, the original playwright, who really enjoyed the tunes!

I had the privilege of working with Studio Players once again in Lexington, KY to arrange a 3 minute medley of popular Christmas carols in a play titled "Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Them Some!)."
2023
My first collection of songs, and my biggest learning experience. They were the first songs that started me on this journey, and they'll always have a special place for me!
My second collection of songs is shorter, but where I started to gather the idea of pulling inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons.
My third collection of songs was a nod to characters I've played in D&D Campaigns. It was also the first time I got to commission a work for a D&D player!
