Tell us about your musical background: I started singing in a youth chorus when I was in the second grade. From there my love for music took off.

I then moved on to working with Matthew Chellis and Julie Simson at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

How did you keep yourself occupied during Covid? During the first big quarantine, I worked on a 13,000 acre organic and biodynamic farm in Montana. However lately, I have been doing a lot of skiing and singing. They are two things that bring a lot of peace of mind to me.

Random fun fact about me: When I was 13 my mom and I snuck into a sound check for Neil Young, and got to see him perform most of his hits. One of the best memories with my mom ever.
