About Me
As a vocal pedagogue, I have presented guest masterclasses and coached ensembles at universities and high schools across the United States. I have taught private lessons for over a decade to students from beginner to professional levels. Student successes include solo performances with the Gulf Coast Messiah Chorus in Gulfport, MS and the SFY Philharmonic Orchestra in Israel. My students have also won leading roles with the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and the Kraine Theatre off-Broadway.
Why I’m At MaryI love it when students discover new insights. I am at Mary to empower students to fully engage in their own learning processes. I focus on stimulating the students' motivation and developing skills necessary for lifelong success. I support transformative education through music by fostering trust and collaboration so that students can broaden their experience and fully develop their creativity.
