I'm a composer, violist, and music teacher from Toronto, currently based in The Hague.
I write notated vocal and instrumental music, music for visual media, and sometimes quasi-improvised events.
I also play improvised music on viola and plucked instruments, often with the ensemble HARP+.
Between 2020 - 2022 I've been working as a composer and music facilitator with Jumblies Theatre, creating music that can be sung by a community choir that meets over Zoom.
Most of my free time these days is spent falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes, or making maps in Geoguessr.
