Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.  Growing up in Los Angeles, I was around different types of music every day.  I cannot thank my parents enough for forcing me into musical theatre in first grade; it cultivated a love of music and the performing arts that I still get to explore today.  In everything I do and create, I strive to inspire empathy.  In an increasingly noisy world, I do what I can to make art that matters.
