The small glimmers - the moments when something clicks, when a student discovers a new layer of their voice or artistry - are the reason I do this work. Those breakthroughs, especially in young musicians, are powerful. Being part of that process is one of the most meaningful extensions of my life as a performer.
​
Since 2018, I have taught private voice lessons in both studio and independent settings. I currently serve as a part-time music teacher at Cardinal O’Hara High School, and as an Education Concert Host with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for grades 5–8 In addition, I regularly lead workshops and masterclasses at high schools and colleges throughout the region.
​
My sessions are flexible and collaborative, designed to meet students where they are. Offerings can include:
- Masterclasses for vocalists
- Ensemble coaching (vocal or instrumental!)
- Workshops on storytelling, musical interpretation, and improvisation
- Conversations on building a sustainable career in music ​​
​
With a background spanning classical, jazz, and musical theatre study, I bring a holistic approach to vocal and artistic development. Together, we explore technique, breath, expression, and the deeper connection between musical voice and identity - helping students build confidence, clarity, and a stronger sense of their artistic voice.
​
Whether working one-on-one or with a full ensemble, my goal is to create an environment where students feel safe, supported, challenged, and inspired.
​
Let’s work together.
