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 where it is safe to learn and be vulnerable. I especially love working with singers who want to increase their vocal range and work on vocal registration. Additionally, I am currently working on my Yoga Certification, which has increased my love of working with students interested in finding body and voice awareness from within.

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.

I have completed my Master of Music from Mannes School of Music in New York City, as well as my Bachelor of Music from Pacific Lutheran University and my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from Pacific Lutheran University.

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. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I cannot wait to meet you!
