Theodora grew up in Boston in the early 2000s, relying heavily on artistic expression to guide her as she navigated early life and its complexities: she would have "song attacks" and jump out of the shower to jot down or record an idea; she wrote a short book called "If Your Parents are Divorced or If You Feel ________" to process and reckon with her own experiences of having divorced parents and feeling unaccepted at school, and with hopes of helping others to do the same. From her earliest days Theodora was driven by a strong sense of purpose and conviction. Her creative inspirations include Barbra Streisand, Lucille Ball, and Jewel.
Theodora graduated from New York Universtiy Tisch School of the Arts where she studied vocal performance and drama.
