About
Teacher of Grammy winning choir, National Children's Choir (Best Choral Performance 2022). Teaching healthy, mesmerizing, and captivating singing is my passion and I will be 100% committed to your progress. Included in being a student of mine is performance opportunities EVERY OTHER MONTH with a supportive, talented, and inspiring singer community. Want to sing and perform like a Diva? I can also develop both your singing and your stage presence to help you channel your inner Beyonce, Ariana, Mariah, or Shawn Mendes. I combine healthy technique and stamina from both opera & pop and bring it to today’s popular styles such as Pop and R&B so you have the best techniques and powerhouse vocals from both styles to truly stand out in today’s music landscape. I do virtual lessons with singers and performance artists all over the country along with meeting students in lovely Studio City! You will learn how to reach high notes with ease, charm your audience and get them on your side, increase both your low and high ranges, create vocal melody lines, and have a fun time learning a life changing skill. I have over 18 years of training in voice, a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Operatic Vocal Performance and have sung at the Hollywood Bowl, Warner Brothers Studios (multiple events), Carnegie Hall, House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafe, Arrowhead Pond Stadium, and at corporate and private events nationwide. I also teach private and group lessons for the National Children's Choir at UCLA and for both kids and adults at LACC. I have an in depth knowledge on what it takes to succeed as a performer in the often challenging, often changing music business. Students leave each lesson feeling inspired, confident, and motivated to go out there and make their dreams happen!
I enjoy seeing my students start gaining confidence in both their voices and performance skills both in lessons and within our singer community. You will achieve visible results within the first few sessions! This is one of the best jobs on the planet and I have a very close relationship with each of my students. It is this closeness which creates a safe and comfortable place to blossom into a dynamic and passionate performer.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I have a very individualized and specific program for each of my singers. We have a weekly goal log that helps us keep track of your progress. Additionally, I give you both my standard vocal warmups on a CD as well as personalized ones based on which styles we are working within.
