My 25-year career as a professional singer spans the genres of opera, operetta, musical theatre and cabaret. Solo performance highlights include Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center.
I began classical voice training in Atlanta at age fourteen and performed regularly at my church, Christ the King Lutheran, in Peachtree Corners. My desire to become a “crossover singer”, able to sing classical and contemporary styles, drove me to seek out and study with over 25 industry leading vocal coaches throughout my career in New York and San Francisco.
I've studied Estill and Lovetri (Somatic Voicework) methods both of which are used by current professionals in musical theatre and contemporary singing styles. My classical training is in the Bel Canto style of singing.
