- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
My mom bought tickets to see Dora Live at MSG when I was three years old. Swiper was SCARY.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I was an intern at the Atlantic Theatre Company during the run of The Secret Life of Bees and I would watch Duncan Sheik dance to his own songs at the back of the audience every night. He's brilliant.
- How do you describe your style/work?
I'd say my work is centered around tangible sensations - trying to understand abstract feelings through the colors and textures I associate them with. I rely so much on specificity.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
Music allows me to express myself in ways that words alone cannot. I think the moment when the lyrics and music first line up feels like a world being built - it's an incredibly special feeling.
