I am an opera singer from Cortlandt Manor, New York, 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”. Before getting cast as the lead role I had not even imagined much about singing, never mind devoting my entire life to it. I began voice lessons that fall at age nine. I then became a part of every musical, choir, and play I could. Through years of cultivating my skills as a singer and performer, I have held positions with renowned opera companies and appeared in operatic performances in New York City.

As a soloist, I have appeared in prestigious venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, the National Opera Center, Jordan Hall, and the Kravis Center. I have trained from leading voice teachers and coaches in the industry and hope to share the skills I have gained with students hoping to start their journey.

I have 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, 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 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.

Community outreach and engagement is a big part of my musical life. I have performed for the Maria Fareri Children’s hospital as well as local healthcare facilities and schools.
