Fantastic Quest for Orchestra (2005)
(awarded The University of Newcastle, Australia Music Lovers Club Prize for Composition)
This piece is written in a folk-like style and in remembrance of her dad. It also summarizes the adventures that she had during her stay in Australia.

Body, Mind, Soul (2006)
This is written based on an experience that she had when she was not feeling well. She was taking a nap when she saw her soul literally rising out of her body. Body, Mind, Soul is about this experience and what went through her mind during that process.

Waltz - Variations (2004)
This is the first piece that she had written during her studies in Newcastle, Australia. It is influenced by Jazz music and consists a theme and seven variations.

Tango. Dark (2004)
Tango. Dark is inspired by works of Chick Corea and Astor Piazzolla. It is intended to portray a sinister mood through a repetitive rhythmic pattern.

The Little Book of Tyra (2005)
This is written in celebration of the life and joy that her niece, Tyra has been bringing to the family.

The Brave Tin Soldier (2006)
She composed this music based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale.
