It's 2019!🎉
A year can really change a person. When I look back on the big and little things that happened in 2018, I really notice all of the things that have changed.

Alice: An Original Song

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…

Music Box Boy and Ballerina Girl: An Original Song
"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…
Garden by the Sea: An Original Song
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…

Sound of Music
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…

Dusk fell as we climbed the hillsides of Manarola to Trattoria Dal Billy. As we feasted on squid ink pasta and other seafood delicacies, the sun began to set. Through the windows of the restaurant overlooking the town, vibrant colors of…
