I have a bachelors in Violin, Viola and Vocal Performance, that I earned while on full scholarship for music. I started violin as a young child with the Suzuki Method and later added viola. I began singing professional gigs while still in high school, and was the youngest member ever with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus at 17. I also have extensive experience singing in non-classical groups and bands and am comfortable performing and teaching musical theatre, pop, country, opera, operetta, and church music. With solid vocal technique my students are able to cross genres with ease, and sing whatever inspires them musically.

I currently sing with the San Diego Master Chorale and the San Diego Symphony. I was concertmaster in several symphony orchestras and have played as section leader for viola in numerous groups. I also play in and manage a string quartet and am also currently coaching small group string ensembles.

I have a deep passion for music as well as teaching. This reflects in my teaching methods and style. My students should feel they are receiving all the knowledge and information necessary to be the best singers/musicians they can be, and that it comes form not only a mind but a heart as well. I also specialize in teaching children with disabilities, and have a knack for engaging students emotionally in their music as well as mentally. They will develop a love and need of music in their lives, which fuels their talent!

I completed my Doctorate of Musical Arts in 2006 at the Shenandoah Conservatory, but I have been performing music since I was three year's old. Music is a passion on mine and I want to share that passion with my students. I teach in a relaxed yet technical style. I currently teach Voice, Piano, and Celtic Harp (Lever). I believe learning music should be fun no matter the instrument, style, or genre. My students have also expressed how nurtured and safe they feel in my studio.

I offer a fun, interactive teaching style that encompasses more than 20 years of performing and 15 years of teaching experience. As a performer I have worked as a professional singer, actor, musician, and dancer. I have always had a passion for teaching, directing, and composing. While my love for performing has lessened over the years, I have found my true calling: teaching, directing, and helping others to find their passion for music and the performing arts.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a special emphasis in music, theatre, dance, and psychology. I am a graduate candidate working on completing my thesis as my final requirement for a Masters of Arts degree in Music at San Diego State University.
