She has written for diverse instrumentations, such as \u201crun-on sentence of the pavement\u201d for piano, ping-pong balls, and electronics, which Alex Ross of\xa0The New Yorker noted as being \u201centrancing\u201d. Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space\u2014real, imagined, and remembered. Awards include the Walter Hinrichsen Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Fulbright Grant, two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers\u2019 Awards, and the 2014 - 2015 Elliott Carter Rome Prize.
