My Story
With a background in classical voice training, musical theatre, and opera, as well as specializations in contemporary voice, songwriting, and voice pathology, I approach teaching from a diversity of perspectives and experiences that address each student's particular needs and interests. All of my teaching is rooted in research-based vocal pedagogy with elements of Alexander Technique, ensuring that vocal health and kinesthetic awareness are always at the forefront. Lessons are also pathways toward creativity, imagination, and musical exploration, often incorporating deep listening, improvisation, and playful sonic exercises.
