July 26, 2020 - This week would have been the Swannanoa Gathering Contemporary Folk/Guitar week in Asheville, NC! I posted what I would have done for the open mic. For my Contemporary Folk/Guitar Week open mic, I decided to arrange "Goodbye is All We Have" by Alison Krauss into a DADGAD guitar arrangement, as I have been exploring fingerstyle guitar and open tunings recently.

March 08, 2020 - For International Women's Day, I wanted to post my recent cover of Frozen II's, "All Is Found", written by one of my favorite female songwriters and composers, Kristen-Anderson Lopez. Her works and lyrics inspire me to keep pursuing my passion for music and composing in hopes that I can write music about my own life, as well as music for movies and television to make a story come alive. This was my last Broadway Night as a senior in high school, and it was very special to me to perform a song from a movie and a songwriter that has made such a great impact on my life!
