I’m Maggie, a musician, artist, and programmer based in Connecticut. In May 2O24, I received a B.A. in Computing and the Arts with a concentration in music as well as a minor in Education Studies from Yale University.

I’ve since worked as Producer at the Yale Center for Collaborative Arts & Media (CCAM) and am now Program Administrator of the Chubb Fellowship. I’m also a Launchpad Artist with Five Points Arts and a CCAM Studio Fellow.

I began conducting and composing music in college. I served as Assistant Conductor and Co-President of the Davenport Pops Orchestra, Yale’s largest and entirely student-run orchestra. I’ve also music directed a concert with the Yale Symphony Orchestra, five sold-out student productions of In the Heights, and several student films.

This year, I joined the PAAC Rondalla, a traditional Filipino folk ensemble run by the Philippine American Association of CT. I also perform new and improvised works on percussion, piano, and electronics, both solo and in ensembles such as the New London Drone Orchestra.

In all of my work I aim to expand accessibility to music and arts education via interactivity and collaboration.

As a composer, I’m currently most interested in grounding a work within a space by sonifying site-specific elements like architecture, light, and art hanging on walls.

As a recent graduate figuring it all out, I’m enjoying long walks and public libraries. My favorite books this year are Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and Sound Within Sound by Kate Molleson.
