She received 2022 Tony, Drama Desk Award and Grammy nominations for her lyrics for Mr. Saturday Night starring the legendary Billy Crystal. She received Tony Award, two Drama Desk Award and OCC nominations for Hands On A Hardbody which she co-wrote with Phish frontman Trey Anastasio and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright. In the same season, she co-wrote lyrics with Lin Manuel Miranda for Bring It On (Tony nominated for Best Musical, Drama Desk nomination for Lyrics).
