- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
I performed in the Jungle Book at 4 and became obsessed with performing and being on stage, so I kept doing it!
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I began songwriting at 12 because I felt there weren’t enough stories being told about people like me. I was most inspired by writers like Taylor Swift and Ahrens/Flaherty.
- How do you describe your style/work?
Personally, I write mostly pop/rnb, but my musical theater writing blends my contemporary background with more traditional structures and harmonies.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
I love when someone tells me they connected with my song and it made them feel something - it’s an amazing feeling to know your work moved someone.
