I owe gratitude to many women–ancestors, family members, teachers, friends. As the final hours of Women’s History Month tick by, I want to dedicate this post to the women in my life who have poured love into my life’s foundation.

There it was–part invitation, part demand–put before me by my college voice instructor, Dr. Marilyn Govich. Though I may not be entirely accurate in my recollection of her words, I distinctly remember the message.

My mom came to musical theater through me. I am not sure why she wasn’t already there. My earliest memories of her include dancing and singing. Read BroadwayWorld's student blog.

It wasn’t so much the class work or the demands of a college musical theater program that were difficult, though that all kept me on my toes. It was dealing with surprising peer conflict that weighed on me like boulders in my backpack.
