I am both humbled and honored to announce that I have been selected USC Thornton Board of Councilors Mentoring Program for the screen scoring class of 2018. Through this program I will be privately mentored by famed film composer Thomas Newman. Thomas Newman is a fourteen-time Academy Award Nominee, three-time Golden Globe Nominee, Emmy, Grammy, BMI, and BAFTA award winning composer whose most popular works include American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, James Bond: Skyfall, James Bond: Spectre, Revolutionary Road, and The Green Mile.
