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!
