Bio: I'm a small-town girl from the Central Coast of California, and hopefully will end up there at some point in my life. My love of singing was probably a result of Disney's The Little Mermaid. After that, I learned the piano, flute, and picked up the tenor sax when I came to USC and joined the Trojan Marching Band. When I'm not with RO or band kids, I love going to ska and reggae shows around the area, and I like to take advantage of any free weekend I have to take a break from LA [I'm a small-town girl, remember?] ...After USC who knows where I'll be headed...hopefully I'll marry rich so I can travel the world doing humanitarian work. Or, I can fall back on my original plan to become a singing, dancing dental hygienist.
