Singing and music performance has been a lifelong passion of mine, and being able to provide the tools to make singing healthy and fun makes my profession one of great joy! I graduated from Southwestern University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance, and taught singing, musical theatre and piano full time while performing part-time. In 2018, I graduated with a Masters in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy (the science of teaching) from Texas State University. Read More

My favorite thing about teaching is getting to see my students learn to love music widely and deeply. In other words, I strive to help my students love a wide range of musical styles and genres, and to love being able to understand and perform that music at a high level. And I believe that developing this kind of love for music takes time and should be an enjoyable journey. Read More
