Hello! Welcome!

I'm a lyric-coloratura soprano and violinist, a life-long musician with many years of solo, orchestral, and choral experience.  I have been a member of The Soldiers' Chorus of the United States Army Field Band since 2010 and have spent many years traveling the globe with this fine ensemble. I am grateful to serve my county through music. Recent highlights include performing the title role in "The Falling and the Rising" at Nickle City Opera (June 2024). 

I enjoy freelancing in the Baltimore/Washington area and have been teaching classical singing and violin for over 20 years. I love guiding others through the magic of music, often working in therapeutic communities. I love to research global music, health, animals, and sound. I enjoy running, painting, and hanging out with my best dog, Ollie as my constant source of love and strength.

I hold a Master of Liberal Arts, summa cum laude, from The Johns Hopkins University (2017), and a Bachelor of Music, magna cum laude, from SUNY Purchase, Conservatory of Music in voice/opera (2008). I'm a registered Suzuki violin teacher and certified in Yoga (RYS). I hold certificates in Animals and Society (UC Boulder), Sound Therapy/Energy Healing for Animals, and in Plant-Based Nutrition through the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. 

Thanks for visiting!
