When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?

Gretl in "The Sound of Music" at a dinner theatre in Denver. (Fun fact, Annaleigh Ashford was 18 at the time and played Leisl!)

When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?

I tried my hand at writing my first song after Sara Barielles dropped her album "Little Voice" in 2007. I was 14, I was obsessed, and I desperately wanted to write a song like "Gravity"

How do you describe your style/work?

I hope my work is honest and vulnerable; Simple enough to allow the story to be communicated effectively, while interesting enough to hold your attention.

What is most rewarding to you about writing music?

For me, it's my own form of journaling and processing emotion- I often feel the most free once I've released an unsettled feeling or situation through a song.
