Truly grew up in the 70's in Marietta, GA, where she loved to sport her pink satin "Roller Disco" jacket at Sparkles roller rink as often as possible. When she wasn't there, you could often find her enjoying the music of Rockafire Explosion at Showbiz Pizza.
She has been a lifelong professional dancer (including a magician's assistant), and actress. She can be seen in episodes of Criminal Minds, This Is Us and Shameless. And even though this is her first time singing in a rock band, she has been singing since age three in musical theatre. Rock on!
