For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the voice. Trained as a classical soprano, I performed in concert and musical theater before discovering a passion for teaching others to sing. My curiosity about the voice and speech mechanism led me back to school, and since 2007 I’ve worked as a speech pathologist and voice coach. It’s deeply rewarding to unite my training to help others heal, speak, breathe, sing, and communicate with greater freedom.

I draw on broad training in voice and speech techniques and hold certifications in related therapies. Because every person’s needs are unique, I listen carefully and use my experience, training, science, and intuition to choose the most effective approach.
