I am a very passionate, motivated, and encouraging instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love for music. In 2008, I graduated with a Master's of Music in Vocal Performance from Arkansas State University. While there I performed in the Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, and Women's Choir. I was the soprano soloist of the Mozart's Coronation Mass and Mozart's Regina Coeli. I also performed the roles of "Ludmilla" in the Bartered Bride, "Ciesca"in Gianni Schicchi, "Abess" in Suor Angelica, and "Rosalinde" inDie Fledermaus. Read More
