I have been studying voice for over ten years, and have been teaching voice professionally since 2015, including two years teaching at the university level. My teaching focuses on helping you to use your voice in the most optimal way, so you can make the best sounds possible!

On the stage, I have performed over two dozen roles spanning opera, musical theatre, and “straight” theatre. I have also performed as a soloist in oratorio and with choral ensembles. You can find my bio below!
