A BIT ABOUT ME

Like most singers, I've been singing since a very young age. I was very active in the music and theater programs at church and in high school, and I participated in All State and All Eastern choruses. I performed leads in musicals and was the soloist in many concerts. My love for singing and music led me to pursue a Bachelors and a Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

As a versatile performer of opera, oratorio, theater, and musical theater, I have enjoyed roles such as Pamina in The Magic Flute, Mercedes in Carmen, Sarah in Guys and Dolls, Laurie in Oklahoma!, Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, Gwendolen in The Importance of Being Earnest and Blanche Ingram in Jane Eyre. I was an apprentice with the Opera Theatre of St. Louis and a member of the Portland Opera Chorus in Portland, OR. In addition, I have participated in solo and group recitals and concerts, such as one celebrating the music of Leonard Bernstein for his 100th birthday in 2018.

​

Over my 20+ years of teaching, I have worked with students of all ages through a private studio, various schools, and Salem State University. In addition to teaching, I have served as the music director for multiple school and community musical theater productions. I am a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), and I served on the board of NATS-Boston for 7 years, including 2 years as president.

Beginning in the Fall of 2022, I will be part of the voice faculty at Delta College and MJC, and I serve on the voice faculty of Opera Modesto's Summer Opera Institute (SOI).
