I got my start in the music world playing violin and piano as a child. I later joined my high school choir and musical theater program where I discovered my love of singing and performing! From there, I went on to get my Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance at Portland State University School of Music (PSU) and my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance/Opera at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). During my undergraduate degree I started teaching private voice and piano lessons and fell in love with teaching students of all ages! I have continued teaching alongside my performing career ever since and went on to teach at Seattle’s top music schools including Cappella Music Academy and Meter Music. I now run my own private teaching business with my fiancé and teach a variety of online lessons and in person lessons locally in the Seattle area, and virtual lessons to students all over the world! Although I specialize in opera and classical music, I teach all different styles and genres of singing and piano. I reside in Bonney Lake, WA with my fiancé and French Bulldog in the vibrant Tehaleh Community.

As a professional opera singer, I have been praised for my “full, rich but incisive tone,” (Gramophone), and my “agility, accuracy, nuance and verve” (The Oregonian). I created the role of Meredith in the 2016 world premiere of Mark Lanz Weiser’s opera The Place Where You Started and have gone on to perform the role both nationally and internationally. My other operatic repertoire includes The Governess in The Turn of the Screw, Gilda in Rigoletto, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Adele in Die Fledermaus, Tytania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, First Lady in Die Zauberflöte, Lisette in La Rondine, Soeur Constance in Dialogues des Carmelites, Mabel in Pirates of Penzance and Suor Osmina in Suor Angelica. I’ve also worked with Portland Opera as a soloist in their Opera a la Cart outreach program and chorister.

I was recently featured on the Naxos album, The Doors of Heaven, as the soprano soloist in Passion and Resurrection by Ēriks Ešenvalds. The album debuted at #1 on Apple and Amazon classical charts, and #1 on Billboard Traditional Classical Chart. In March of 2019 I made my professional debut of the piece with Washington Choral Arts Northwest. My other solo concert repertoire includes the Mozart Coronation Mass in C major and Gounod’s St. Cecilia Mass.
