I've always loved music, but for most of my life I never imagined that I could write songs or sing them for others to hear. I'm deeply grateful to the many people who helped make the seemingly impossible my new reality and one of the great joys in my life. Thank you to:

My songwriting teachers, especially Carol McComb, Steve Seskin, and the teachers at the Rocky Mountain Song School;

My amazing voice teacher, Rocío Guitard;

My incredible, multi-talented producer, co-writer, and songwriting coach, Mary Bragg;

My friends who inspire me with their own creativity and who cheer me on, especially Maggie Wing, Mike Freed, Radhika Malpani, Vinitha Watson, my fellow Camp Ampersandians, my fellow Seskin workshop songwriters, and my guitar teacher, Chris Stone;

My mom, Marlene, who always believes that I can do anything I set my mind to;

My brother, Eric, for taking my musical pursuits seriously and for graphic design assistance;

My daughter, Julia, who inspired me to follow in her footsteps into the arts; I love you to the moon and back!
