I am a professional opera singer and have studied diction and languages for 12 years. I have a special musican’s ear for the subtleties of language and a lot of tools to help you reach your communication goals in speaking American English!

I can help you code-switch between your habitual dialect and one that you feel is more suitable for your situation.

I have a graduate degree in education and nearly 20 years of teaching and private tutoring experience.
