Music
The Rutgers University Glee Club
Music has long been an important part of my life and I am fortunate enough to have been part of two world-class ensembles during my undergraduate career at Rutgers: the Glee Club and Kirkpatrick Choir.
Having served as Public Relations Manager of the Glee Club from 2017-2018, I created all of the promotional materials and managed the social media accounts. Aside from optimizing the “Q-Clef”—a longstanding symbol that is a portmanteau of a treble clef and the old Queens College flag—for digital purposes, I retraced the logo-mark used for most of the 20th century and used both to illustrate the organization’s motto since its founding in 1872: “Everchanging, yet eternally the same”.

Rutgers University Kirkpatrick Choir
Lyric Video for Kirkpatrick Choir’s performance of Scott Ordway’s Three Kalevala Songs, conducted by Patrick Gardner
Animated photo work and lyric caption work accomplished using Adobe CC Premiere Pro.
The piece recounts the first Runes of the Finnish epic, the Kalevala, in which the creation mythos is recounted. The photo was taken off the coast of Finland and a stunning Baltic sunset seemed a fitting representation of the creation of life from the sea.
Recorded November 2019
Video produced May 2020
Covers were created for two recordings of Kirkpatrick Choir performances from November 2019.
The first is for Melissa Dunphy’s What do you think I fought for at Omaha Beach?, a piece that sets to music the testimony of Philip Spooner in front of the Maine Supreme Court in support of the legalization of gay marriage in 2009. Spooner recounts his time serving in WWII and references his struggle as the physical manifestation of the long fought fight for civil liberty.
The latter cover is for Scott Ordway’s Three Kalevala Songs, a set of choral pieces that set the first few runes of the Finnish epic to an ethereal soundscape.
