+Dear Graduate Selection Committee,
+.sp 0.5
+.PP
+Please accept this letter as and indication of my interest
+in pursuing the PhD in composition at the Eastman School of Music.
+I am currently completing the MA in composition and Arts Leadership
+Certificate at Eastman where I have studied with Dr. Robert Morris, Dr. David Liptak,
+and Dr. Matthew Barber. At Eastman, I fill a graduate assistant postion in the
+Eastman Audio Research Studio. Prior to my time at Eastman, I completed the BM in
+composition at Pennsylvania State University where I studied with Dr. Baljinder
+Sekhon and Dr. SC Rice. I will graduate from Eastman in May of 2022 and plan to
+begin my doctoral studies in Fall of 2023.

+My musical output is bifurcated by practices in both composition and performance.
+My compositional practice includes concertized works for soloists, ensembles, and
+electronic media, as well as works designed for indoor or outdoor installation. In
+my composed works I create highly organized systems to create connections between
+philosophy, design, and personal experiences reading and hiking. Much of this work
+also communes with music from other times and places, establishing connections and
+references to histories of musical culture.
+My practice as a performer focuses on collaborative electroacousitic improvisation.
+Here I explore musical intersubjectivity with long-term collaborators, developing
+performance aesthtics through dialogue and consensus through musical and personal
+interaction.
+
+
+Much of this work has been programmed at festivals and
+conferences, both nationally and internationally.
+
+My involvement at events such as
+the Shastra Tabla Rhythm Workshop (USA), Dot-the-Line Festival (South Korea), soundSCAPE
+(Italy), Composing in the Wilderness, and the Vibraphone Century (USA),
