I continue to further my own studies with a marvelous teacher, Lauren Athey-Janka. I take much of her own teachings to incorporate it into my style.

Music has been a part of my life from as early as I can remember. After graduating from Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in 2006 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Voice Performance, I have continued to perform and broaden my range of musical experiences through diverse engagement in both the classical and non-conventional realms.
