I love helping singers find their voices and maximize their potential. It is a gift to get to share the joy of singing with students, while helping develop their vocal abilities and general musicianship.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to start by finding out what the student hopes to get out of their time with me. Do they love to sing and have always wanted to study it? Are they preparing for college auditions? Are they working professionals looking to hone their craft? After discussing goals, I like to do a few diagnostics to see where the voice is at. This could mean the student singing scales and patterns, or even a song they have prepared. From there, we identify a course of action and move forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor of Music: Vocal Performance - University of Manitoba, 2016
Master of Fine Arts: Musical Theatre - Boston Conservatory at Berklee, 2019
