Dear guests,

I have been instructing all ages and levels since 1997, and it is my passion to share my knowledge of singing, music, acting, auditioning, and performance techniques to those seeking a career in musical theatre. As a theatre major at Miami University, I responded best to instructors who were also working, professional singers and actors. My goal now is to fill that same role with my students by translating not only my education but my life lessons and experience into effective tools and skills for aspiring performers.
