Singing is my passion and I absolutely love teaching all ages and all styles of singing. No matter what your goals are, I would love to help you in your journey! I've worked with complete beginners to working professionals, and I strive to create a welcoming and nurturing learning environment. I especially love working with singers who want to increase their vocal range and work on vocal registration.

The process of unlocking, discovering, and understanding your voice is an intimate and exciting process. I love to partner with my students on this journey; I have been so lucky to have incredible teachers in my life who give me so much inspiration.

Lessons will be completely individualized within the framework of learning a healthy vocal technique and a mix of healthy vocal repertoire. We will work together to meet your goals and find your unique voice. I cannot wait to meet you!
