About

I'm an actor-singer-voice teacher and a 2025 graduate of Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a Master of Fine Arts in Vocal Pedagogy for Musical Theatre.

Originally from Chicago, I spent my first years out of undergrad performing in Chicago storefront theatre and teaching voice & piano in the city and surrounding suburbs. My passion for teaching was ignited after teaching at Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in the Theatre Conservatory. After graduating my first class, I made the journey to Boston to pursue my MFA. During my time at Boston Conservatory, I grew as an educator and performer, but also added researcher to my list of interests. My thesis titled 'Gender Quality in Musical Theatre Singing: Disagreement Between Singer and Listener Perception' has been published by ProQuest with versions of it having been presented nationally at Voice Foundation and the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

For Fall 2026, I will be on faculty at Boston Conservatory at Berklee for a second year teaching vocal pedagogy and musical theatre voice lessons. I will also be on faculty at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA for a third year teaching voice lessons in the theatre department. I keep a small roster of private voice lesson students, so if you or your child is interested in lessons, please fill out my contact form.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy singing, exploring nature, and cooking new recipes. I live in Lowell with my husband and our THREE kitties Buddy, Parker, and Magnolia.
