About
I have a bachelor's degree in vocal performance from Illinois Wesleyan University, and a master's degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at UW Madison, I taught voice lessons to non-music majors for 3 semesters. I have experience performing and teaching in many different styles, and I try my best to give each of my students a good understanding of how to use their voice correctly, and then apply those tools to any style of music they wish to sing.
Music has always been my greatest passion, and I love seeing my students discover their own musical passions. Seeing them succeed brings me so much joy!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin with asking them about their experience with singing, asking what kinds of styles they are interested in, which languages they know, etc. I would then vocalize the student, getting an ear for their voice and assessing how we could work to improve from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BM Vocal Performance from Illinois Wesleyan University
MM Vocal Performance from Univeristy of Wisonsin-Madison

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching in 2015, when I was given a teaching assisstantship at the Unviersity of Wisconsin-Madison. I taught non-music major undergraduate students for three semeseters during my graduate studies.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students who want to learn all types of styles: musical theatre, classical, opera, jazz, etc.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who you connect with/feel comfortable with. Voice is often such a personal instrument to coach/teach/use. I feel that your voice teacher should be someone you trust and feel comfortable with.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about why it is you want to take voice lessons. Think about any goals you want to set for yourself/what you want to get out of your voice lessons.
