I am passionate about accessible arts education and supporting students in finding and using their voice. My professional activities as an educator range from teaching voice, piano, music theory, music history and lyric diction to coaching students for performances and auditions; stage and music directing; teaching individual and group lessons; and serving on the board of a performing arts public charter high school.
