About
NOTE: I do not teach in person lessons, only virtual.
My top priority as a teacher, is to create a positive, inclusive, and safe learning environment for my students. I structures my lesson plans around the individuals needs and maintain flexibility in helping students discover their own unique, musical voice and style. My students have recently placed and progressed forward in competitions such as “The Voice,” “Britain’s Got Talent,” and the “Bermuda Festival Competition (first prize).”
What I enjoy most about the work I do, is sharing my artistic passion with others and helping them to find their own artistic voice and expression. Having an incredible team of mentors and teachers along my journey, I know how important it is to have a safe and encouraging learning environment. Providing a space that allows my students to be vulnerable and comfortable expressing themselves in their music and seeing their artistic growth because of this, continuously inspires me. It's always an honor to be apart of someone's unique artistic process!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I first ask them what their experience and goals are. If they are comfortable, I ask if they could perform a couple phrases of a song they have worked on, or a scale, so that I may assess where they are at. After getting to know the student a bit better, I contruct a unique curriculum and plan to help them progress and grow. I always try to be as flexibile as possible when working with a new student so that they feel excited, confident, and comfortable experimenting with technique and artistry.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied at the International Vocal Artists Acadeny in Payerbach, Austria, have received an M.M in voice from UCLA, a B.A in music from University of California Santa Barbara, and have been teaching privately and in school settings since 2015.
A few companies I have performed with include Dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, The Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, Russian Theater Arts, the Idyllwild Master Chorale and Orchestra, the Santa Ynez Master Chorale and Orchestra, Repertory Opera Company, and as a chiral singer in the "Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Tour" at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
