Mya Bodnick is a junior musical theatre major at Rider University. Originally from South Florida, Mya's love for writing sparked at a young age. She has won numerous writing awards from the Scholastic Art and Wrtiting Competition. She has been singing on stage since she was a little girl, performing for community ceremonies all around South FL, professional sporting events, and has been involved with numerous theatres in the area. She trains intensely in voice, acting, and dance and is so happy to be able to combine her love for writing and musical theatre on this platform. When she is not in the theatre, you can find her at the beach, in the gym, hiking, doing yoga, or cooking with her family.
