- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
On a 3rd grade field trip, I attended a local community theatre production of "The Wizard Of Oz". The Scarecrow stole the show and I was immediately hooked. I needed to be in the next production.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I started writing for musical theatre two years ago. Having just moved to NYC, I was recently inspired by Matthew Dean Marsh's RIOT SONG at the Public. Affirming, I'm where I need to be.
- How do you describe your style/work?
My early work gravitates towards intimate introspection. With my performance background, I believe my work has good sense of what musical theatre performers want to perform today.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
Sometimes I feel like songwriting transcends time. Old lyrics that felt arbitrary reveal themselves to be true in the future and new songs can calcify past moments and emotions.
