Attended school in Vienna, taking advanced German classes, voice lessons, vocal coaching lessons and performed in a recital. I attended 22 operas at the renowned Vienna State Opera House, which included the full Wagner Ring Cycle operas. I also took a semester course about just those three Wagner operas. While there, I toured europe and attended Swan Lake at the critically acclaimed Hungarian National Ballet.

I also developed stylistically through my vocal coaching in German art song and the German language pronunciation.
