Born and raised in NYC, I began my professional career at the age of 7, performing on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera as a member of the children's chorus. I continued my training at the "Fame!" school, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for Music, Art, and Performing Arts. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University and a Master of Music in Opera Performance from Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Experienced in multiple musical genres, I have performed extensively in both opera and musical theater productions across the country and continue to pursue an active performance career alongside my teaching. My background includes training in vocal pedagogy, choral singing, music theory, ear training, acting, dance, Alexander Technique, piano, violin, and vocal diction (English, French, Italian, and German). My musical mentors have played a critical role in shaping much of who I am today, and I strive to support and inspire my students in the same way. I tailor my teaching approach to what is most effective and enjoyable for each individual by meeting my students where they are and exploring what learning style works best for them. Together, we can cultivate the joy and freedom of expression through music and achieve your goals!
