I'm a soulful and dedicated instructor who enjoys sharing and working with students who love music the same way I do. In 2010 I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Professional Music. I've had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the most significant and legendary artists in the Latin scene. I've had the privilege of performing at the Latin Billboards in Miami, as well as singing in Turkey with the Istanbul State Symphonic Orchestra.

I graduated with my Bacholers in Music and Pyschology with a focus on opera voice in 2009. In my performance program I really grew as a vocalist and learned how to overcome my own obstacles and improve my vocal technique for myself.  I feel confident now in sharing my experience and my education with my students so they are able to really grow and improve as well.  I started professionally and privately studying vocal technique when I was 17 and prior to that I was performing musical theater in school and in community performance groups.  I really found my passion in classical repetoire and studied with numerous private teachers who were professional opera singers such as, Carol Yahr, Maria Fattore, and Annelise Von Georken.  

I am a recent graduate of the University of Missouri, Kansas City with a Master's Degree in Voice Performance. I relocated to NYC in September, 2013 to actively pursue a career in performance. I began formal voice lessons at the age of 14, but I began singing in choirs at age 6 and have been in love with performing since then. My primary focus is classical music, opera in particular, but I am also at home in musical theater and can work in other genres. Some of my past operatic performance credits include The Countess in The Marriage of Figaro, First Lady in The Magic Flute, and Micaela in Carmen. Some past musical theater credits include Mrs. Segstrom in A Little Night Music and The Stepmother in Into the Woods. I believe everyone can learn to sing and I love sharing my passion for music with others.

Born and raised in NYC, I began my musical training quite early as a professional singer and clarinet player in the band program in middle school, ultimately graduating from The High School of Music and Art (LaGuardia, "Fame"). While there, my sister and I sang with a girl that later became famous and was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. I continued my musical education both in school and performing in genres of classical, rock, pop, Gospel, r&b, soul, and folk. A true mix!! Songwriting came later and currently, I have two CD's of my own with original material on both. I've been teaching all ages from 8-88 since I was 18 as a private music teacher and coach, in private and public schools and community centers. I created workshops and shows for my student's participation. Whether it's singing, learning piano, orchestral instuments or songwriting, I am delighted to bring my students where they aspire to reach.

I am a calm, laid-back, yet intense teacher who expects the best from myself and my students.  In almost every aspect of my life, I take an approach developed from my experiences with bodybuilding.  As a competitive bodybuilder in college, I learned that progress requires desire, discipline, patience, self-evaluation, and the willingness to change directions and tweak one's regimen.  I see weakness as simply the absence of strength, which is correctable. The same can be said of weight-lifting, of singing, and of practically any endeavor.
