Is there anything you'd like to say to Tina on the occasion of her retirement?
​
​The first song you gave me in voice lessons around age 7 was Castle on a Cloud, where you helped me find my voice. Then, you cast me as Annie at 11 years old, which helped me find my confidence. Then, giving me leadership roles working next to you as I entered my teens allowed me to believe I could do anything I set my mind to even at a young age. This all prepped me for moving away in 2008 pursue music in Nashville. You were a HUGE part of my childhood and still play a big part in why I continue everyday creating music and singing.​
