About

This is a bio. It usually includes all the impressive things I’ve done and where I went to school and why you should care about who I am. I notoriously hate writing bios. Maybe not notoriously, but personally. I don’t particularly like talking about myself. That’s why most of my deep dark secrets end up in songs. I guess it’s easier to sing about myself. So if you really want to get to know me, you should listen to my music!

Here are some facts about me that haven’t ended up in my songs yet:

My favorite color is pink.
I’ve been performing since childhood.
I like camping cause it’s the one time I get to see the stars.
I wrote my first song at 5 years old. It was titled “Beautiful Day” and included hit lines such as ‘The sun is out the air is nice / I don’t even want to make it spice / Even though that’d taste good with rice / ‘Cause it’s a beautiful day’.
I hate the sensation of a nail file.
I attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) where I majored in the vocal and musical theatre department.
I didn’t get many leads in shows cause I was way too shy.
I know a lot about Phineas and Ferb.
After high school I attended CalArts but not before they rejected me a first time and I took a gap year, played Sally in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, dyed my hair blonde, and workshopped an original musical performed for and critiqued by Stephen Schwartz.
I applied to CalArts a second time and was accepted but only for covid to hit.
I don’t really like school though I find my schooling days to be my most prolific songwriting periods.
People always told me I looked like Eleven from Stranger Things and then in 2020 I played her in an immersive theater adaptation of the third season, titled “Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience”
I don’t know how to whistle.
I busked at the Pasadena Farmer’s Market throughout college. Yes I know that’s where Phoebe Bridgers got her start.
I love theatre but find the union process to be daunting and unexplainable.
I wanna be rep’d but I don’t want to lose my individuality.
I finally graduated CalArts with a BFA in performance and composition.
I work a lot with the Jewish community of Los Angeles, both as a performer and a cantorial soloist. Some notable places include Temple Beth Israel of Highland Park and Eagle Rock, Temple Emanu El Burbank, Nashuva led by Rabbi Naomi Levy, and The Braid in Santa Monica.
I think we’re only 100 years away from domesticating the raccoon.
I co-wrote a 10 minute musical titled “Afikoman: The Musical” that won the Foundation for New American Musicals ’ShowSearch’ competition.
I’m secretly a soprano but I always sing in the alto section.
I learned how to harmonize from folk CDs my mom would play in the car.
I’ve been on three boards which is maybe two boards too many.
I work with community theaters and youth programs as a musical director. I’d love to conduct for adults too.
I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap.
