I am so grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout my life and encouraged me to continue singing no matter where life takes me. I would like to recognize Kristen Zlogar, Natalie Conte and Melissa Chávez for helping me discover my voice and grow into the performer I am today. I would also like to thank my mom and my sister for supporting me unconditionally and cheering me on in the audience at every performance.
