  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: I'm always writing and over the past few years I've created an album processing my miscarriage, the 10 song love letter to my daughter detailing the highs and lows and motherhood and then my recent work which is dissecting navigating family life, writing from multiple perspectives and thoughts and the challenges that come from being in a family - if you could be truly heard, what would be said?
