Background

I'm a voice instructor, direct the opera workshop, and serve as musical director for the music theater productions.

My performances include opera, oratorio, orchestral concerts, chamber music, art song recital, and music theatre. In my career I have performed more than 85 roles in opera and oratorio, as well as solo concert tours throughout the world with American Voices.

I have shared my soprano with audiences across the United States, Europe, South America, Central America, the Caribbean and countries in Asia including Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and Brunei. 

I have performed in prestigious concert venues such as Washington's John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Atlanta's Symphony Hall with the late, internationally renowned conductor, Robert Shaw.

My signature musical works include the Countess in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro; Alice Ford in Verdi's Falstaff; Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915; and Strauss' Vier Letzte Lieder. I have enjoyed several appearances on PBS national broadcasts, including An Evening with Cole Porter and Salute to Masterpiece Theatre.
