For me, there is nothing more exciting than working with young and developing voices- helping children discover a love and a talent that can bring them joy and empower them, youth nurture their talent and develop healthy habits that they can take from their garage band to their choir, school musical, or in the case of many of my past students, university programs, national musical theatre tours, major children's choral organizations, and regional opera houses, and adults find the voice they didn't know they possessed or further their passion in the midst of life's demands. My focus is the goals of my students.

I believe in developing healthy classical technique as the base for singing in different styles. As a children's choral specialist, I've learned to adapt techniques for teen and adult students for age-appropriate physical developmental needs to ensure the start of healthy vocal habits while focusing on musical skills development.
