In May of 2016, I graduated from the University of Connecticut holding a bachelors degree in Music. At UConn, I took - and currently take private lessons with Metropolitan Opera bass-baritone Rod Nelman. My time at UConn was diversely beneficial, granting me opportunities to perform in operas, musicals, an a capella group, a marching band, and professional-level choirs that have performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall. I spent a semester taking classes with the Neag School of Education, working a teaching clinical in a nearby middle school, and a semester with the School of Business, studying entrepreneurship and managerial/interpersonal behavior.

What thrills me about education is the unexpected discovery: the discovery of connection between individual disciplines or the realization of ones own creativity or a deeper comprehension of lifes vitality, all of which lead to a revivified awareness of humanity. As a teacher, choral director, and educational theatre director, I strive to incorporate my knowledge and love of music, theatre, and learning to create a world in which my students and I are able to deconstruct barriers to our understanding of subjects and our place in the world, whether that be as musicians, writers, artists or scholars.

With that in mind, I set realistic goals for my students by teaching basic fundamental techniques and applying them to repertoire that is fun, recognizable, expressive and practical. Read More
