After a two year hiatus, I am back to doing my favorite strength building and flexibility exercise: aerial silks. Last summer I was determined to make this a priority and found a way to fit it into my schedule. I think what I love so much about aerial silks is that it…

Since we are about to enter the 2020’s, I figured I should share some videos and pictures from Stage Right Performing Arts’ production of Thoroughly Modern Millie which takes place in the 1920’s. Last summer I was so grateful to play the part of Millie in this show…

Let me introduce my new music. My original song, “Checkmate,” which is now available on Spotify and iTunes is a sneak peak into my new album. My new sound has a lot more complexities to it. The following is a play by play interpretation of the lyrics…

On April 13, 2014 a white supremacist gunned down three beautiful souls in Overland Park, Kansas. Fourteen year old Reat Underwood, his grandfather, William Corporon, and Terri LaManno lost their lives that day. In their memory, Seven Days was created…

I have been dreaming of making a music video for a while. Just after the first of the year, I was having a discussion with Chris, my producer from Rock Band Academy, about next steps for me and my music. When I found out that I had the opportunity to film…

Just a Dreamy Idea, my debut album, has just been released on Spotify, ITunes, CD Baby, Youtube, SoundCloud, etc. and I am so excited to share it with you! I poured my heart and soul into this project which has been over a year in the making….

My original song, "Alice", is clearly based on Alice in Wonderland and has a lot of symbolism. Alice is having a lazy day, reading a book, when life suddenly throws Alice for a loop, and she falls down a rabbit hole. When Alice is in "Wonderland"…

Infinity is an ethereal song with a combination of Adult Alternative, Classical, and Pop sounds. The concept behind the lyrics is that when we are living in the moment, it feels like infinity. I used a lot of space and ocean imagery…

One thing that it’s easy for us all to get caught up in in other people’s opinions. The Judge’s Mask is a song about breaking free from feeling judged. So many times judgmental people have a lot to say behind other people’s backs, but don’t have the courage to say it so someone’s face…

Dreamiest Thing originally had completely different lyrics and a different title when I first released it on SoundCloud. This song has a bit of a jazzy vibe to it, and I decided I wanted to take it back to its original inception…

Bullseye is a rewrite of one of my earlier songs. I recorded an entirely new bridge to make the songs more cohesive. This song is about how choices affect destiny. Sometimes when we make choices in the moment, we don’t know how things will turn out…

"Music Box Boy and Ballerina Girl" is a song about a moment in time that is captured inside a music box. This song seems a bit like a lullaby, but with a modern, Indie twist, a music box playing, and a lot of layered vocals. I was going for a nostalgic, haunting sound…

The lyrics to Garden by the Sea most accurately reflect my real life. I wrote this song literally in less than an hour. It’s a folk tune that tells the story of my beloved cat, Bonnie, who died when I was away in Venice, Italy. When I was back home I was sitting on the pink couch…

I wrote Sun-Kissed at the beginning of the summer 2018. It’s a lighthearted, summery song with island vibes. I entered it in Radio Air Play’s summer song contest, and it won…

I had the opportunity to play Liesl von Trapp, the oldest daughter. The von Trapp family had a really close bond on and off stage and we would always have family pep talks before each of our shows. This really helped us have believable stage chemistry…

I was so honored to play the role of Jasmine, but it was spending roughly 4 months with some of my favorite people that really made my 7th grade year. Being a part of this cast for so long definitely made us close…

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious musical where contestants compete in a "spelling bee." This show, put on by Stage Right Performing Arts, was one of the most fun…

I had the incredible opportunity of dancing at Disney with the Entertainers from Miller Marley. The day before we performed, we went to a workshop taught by Disney dancers. At the workshop…

Trying aerial silks had been on my bucket list for a long time. Going to the studio for my first time was awe-inspiring! All the instructors were doing these unique and amazing tricks…

This production of Honk Jr. from last June holds a special place in my heart because it was my last time to be in an elementary school show with Stage Right Performing Arts. I played the role of The Cat, which was the first time I have ever played a villain…
