She has starred in productions of Woman on Fire and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and most importantly, the As You Like It by Shaina Taub, so her love for this play has been growing for a while. Music is her first love, with violin as her main instrument and guitar as a tool for songwriting, and is so excited to bring her creative side into this process. See you in the open!
