I am a classical singer based in Boston, MA with a Master of Music in Vocal Arts from the Bard College Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory.

My passion for singing began at a summer theater program where I performed the title role in the musical “Annie”. I began voice lessons that fall at age nine, and I never looked back. Through years of cultivating my skills as a singer and performer, I am passionate about empowering my students through music.

As a soloist, I have appeared at venues such as The Glimmerglass Festival, Sarasota Opera, Chautauqua Opera, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the National Opera Center in New York, Jordan Hall, and the Kravis Center. I have trained and shared the stage with leading voice teachers and coaches in the industry and hope to share the skills I have gained with my students hoping to start their journey. Throughout my time in conservatory, I studied piano extensively and became a tutor for a course called “Piano for Vocalists.” After my studies, I began teaching private and group classes at education programs around the country to beginner and intermediate level students.

In addition to my private studio, I previously taught for education programs at the Aspen Music Festival, Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Days in the Arts at Tanglewood, and New England Conservatory in singing, piano, musical theater, and musicianship skills. Through working with singers of all levels, I hope to empower performers with the tools needed to shape their unique voice, muscianship, and skill set. My teaching method encompasses aspects of many disciplines through proper breath and support, healthy and natural singing of all styles, and dramatic integrity. I also specialize in audition preparation, sight reading, and languages.
