I am forever indebted to all of the people and organizations that have supported me and helped me find my voice – both literally and figuratively.   I started my vocal training with the Boston City Singers.  Jane Money, the founder and artistic director, introduced our choral group to the power of the arts to change lives and uplift communities.  Those early concerts still inspire me today.  Since the Boston City Singers, I have had the good fortune to study with many other great artists and vocal coaches at the South Shore Conservatory, Harvard University, and Bridgewater State University.  I’ve been cast in more than a dozen musical theater productions, and I have been recognized for my talent and efforts in vocal competitions and with scholarships.  However, some of the most meaningful arts experiences for me have been inclusive ones - performances for and with people who have been marginalized by society because of their socio-economic situations or their disabilities.  I will always have a passion for performing, but a good life for me is one in which I am able to channel that passion and all of my talents as an educator to inspire students to reach their full potential.
