I am a writer and vocalist based in Seattle, Washington. I write about people who yearn for belonging in worlds that never quite accepted them; I write about what makes me afraid and what makes me laugh. Currently, I am a librettist with American Opera Initiative (2025/26) at Washington National Opera.
Influenced by my education in voice and theatre, my work as a writer has been described as imaginative, women-centered, and ripe for a stage. I’m an alum of Seattle Opera’s Jane Lang Davis Creation Lab, Freehold Theatre’s Playwriting series, and Guerilla Opera’s Libretto Writing Lab. On other stages, I perform in musicals throughout the Pacific Northwest and am one-half of Finney, an alternative-folk duo.
In 2019, I earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from Central Washington University, where I performed with CWU Opera and studied voice with Dr. Gayla Bauer-Blaisdell. Before that, I performed with award-winning musical theatre companies in Portland, OR, studied abroad at the West End, and sang for former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama with St. Mary’s Academy’s Marian Singers.
