Testimonials

"She was so fundamental in the development of my voice. There's something so grounded about her approach to singing and teaching: it's not about impressing, it's about understanding what's not right and finding ways to fix it. It's about making it easy. I'm so glad she welcomed me into her studio with such warmth and grace."

Qualifications

In addition to my performance work, I have been teaching voice in my private studio since 2015, and as a Vocal Tech coach with Music Theatre College Auditions since 2022.

In 2019 I received my post-graduate Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy with a focus in vocology from NYU, where I also worked from 2017 - 2019 as adjunct voice faculty.

My current private roster includes students of all ages and goals, from hobbyists to working professionals in the performing arts, across genres from classical to folk to rock.

Additionally, I work with non-singers who are experiencing vocal fatigue that impacts their professional and personal life, such as teachers, entrepreneurs, and actors, to develop greater comfort in their voices, and when necessary, refer to a medical professional.
