- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
I auditioned for my middle school's "Into the Woods" and wasn't cast. I was discouraged, but my parents had me join a community show-choir. After my first solo (Defying Gravity), I was hooked.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I was dating a boy (now my husband) in 9th grade & wanted to write a song for our anniversary. My dad was a songwriter & I was always inspired to try it myself. I started writing then & never stopped!
- How do you describe your style/work?
I would describe my work as honest & relatable! I love to tell stories that other people see themselves in. I try to do it in a way that is catchy, sincere, and most of all-- me.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
Writing is so therapeutic for me! I write as a way to process things I've been through. The true *magic* happens when other people can see themselves in the stories I tell. That fills my cup the most.
