About
With each song, there is an underlying emotion. My goal as a teacher is not only to help you as a student sing healthily, but as well as to dig into the text of the song and help you tell a story to an audience.
Having earned my bachelor degree in voice performance from Biola University, I have had a wide range of musical education. From opera to jazz, you will learn how to be a versatile singer in all that you perform. My goal is not to make you a better singer, but a better musican. Whether you want to sing classically or contemporary, we will work together to make sure that you feel comfortable and proud of how you sing!

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching voice during my college years as an undergraduate. To me, teaching is one of the most rewarding things to do. To see a student grow from their first voice lesson and witness their musical journey is the best gift that a voice teacher could ask for.
What types of students have you worked with?
Various musical backgrounds from years of musical training to no experience at all. I've worked with children who have never played an instrument or sang as well as taught college age students who have dabbled in music a bit.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Though I am proud of the older students growing into their voice, my favorite teaching experience happend in the summer of 2017 when I went to Lebanon. I was there serving the Syrian refugee children. Here I was able to teach some of the kids how to play various instruments. Nothin touched me more than seeing one of the children learning how to play piano. They kept practicing and practicing and were so proud of themselves for learning a simple song.
