Hello! I am an opera singer and recent graduate from the Mannes School of Music in Manhattan with a Masters in Voice. I've graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a BFA in Vocal Performance. I have been formally trained in Classical singing since 10-years-old. I have been in five operas at Carnegie Mellon University - La finta giardiniera by Mozart as Ramiro, Cendrillon as Armelinde by Viardot and Numbers in L'enfant et les sortilèges by Ravel, the Deer in Craig Hella Johnson's Considering Matthew Shepard, and Dorabella in Mozart's Così fan tutte. I was also Vivica Genaux's cover (as Dario) in Pittsburgh Quantum Theatre's Idaspe. I was also Eustazio in Handel's Rinaldo with Chicago Summer Opera. In my first year at Mannes, I was The Dragonfly in L'enfant et les sortilèges by Ravel and the Mermaid in Mermaid in the Jar by Rachel Peters. In 2024 at Mannes, I was Myhrrine in Adamo's Lysistrata and was Ada Lovelace in the Infinite Energry of Ada Lovelace.

My love for music began at a young age which is what led me to seek a conservatory style education in music to forge my path towards becoming a professional opera singer. Since I began singing at age seven, I am familiar with music appropriate for young singers. I have a strong desire to share my passion for music with others, and as a part of my schooling, listening to my peers and offering vocal help showed me that I can share my passion by teaching others classical vocal technique and the information I have learned from music classes while at Carnegie Mellon University and Mannes.

I would love to hear from you to schedule a lesson soon! Contact me to discuss the option for virtual lessons or in person as well as the possibility of 30 minute lessons for young children/beginner musicians.
