As a libra sun, aries moon, and scorpio rising combo, she bares home to a harmonious blend of contradictions: as fearless as she is tender, and as silly as she is introspective.

It was further developed through the 'apples and oranges theater accelerator program', and has been showcased at various venues including Pace University, Schaeberlee Studios, 54 below and the Hartt school of music.
