I was born and raised in Denver, CO.

My mom is a gym teacher, and shes not musically inclined, but she always wanted to help me out with music as best she could.

I played Tina Denmark in Ruthless the Musical when I was 9 at the Theatre on Broadway in Denver.

I think we all share the same goal, which is a United States of America that inspires people and leads.
