As an educator and arts leader with a performing career, I'm passionate about giving my students the confidence to use their true sound to take up space and be heard.
Like personalities, every voice is unique and complex: my approach is unique to you. You’ll receive practical tools to allow you to communicate freely and truthfully with your voice, and to sustain your vocal gift. I provide strong guidance and empathic support no matter where your career or your heart takes you.
When you connect to your truly free sound, created in a balanced way through skill, craft and passion, the world can connect to it, too, no matter the genre or style.
