My earliest childhood dream in music was to be an orchestral conductor – a dream that never wavered throughout my various musical ventures. I came to conducting relatively late compared to some of my other musical experiences, receiving my first private training from Hendrik Hofmeyr at the University of Cape Town and Travis Cross at UCLA in 2015. My passion for conducting came to fruition during my studies at the University of Louisville when I was finally able to pursue it professionally. Today, as I continue my studies in conducting during my Doctor of Musical Arts degree, I consider conducting to be as important to me as composition.

​

My endeavours in orchestral conducting strives for a well-rounded education with a careful balance between exposure to standard repertoire and techniques for contemporary music direction. Furthermore, I believe that my undiluted energy and expressive conducting language offer a unique and refreshing take on modern conducting.

​

Over the past two years, I have had numerous conducting opportunities while working with professional orchestras, university orchestras, new music ensembles, and choruses. I have led multiple orchestra rehearsals, sectionals and appeared on stage as conductor more than a dozen times. Notable performances and repertoire studied are listed below.
