I recently received my Master of Music in Vocal Performance and Literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in May 2020, and I have a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and Theatre Art from Concordia College Moorhead, MN. I have extensive training and years of experience in classical and contemporary voice, as well as dance training, acting training, and experience in improvisational comedy.

My priorities as a teacher are vocal health, helping students understand pedagogy in crossover training, and creating an extensive versatile repertoire while establishing a comfortable and safe relationship teacher to student. I teach private voice to undergraduate college students, middle school and high school students, and adults. I have experience teaching and coaching musical theatre repertoire in a college classroom setting through my assistantship at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I recently led theatre games for children through several online camps during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also have experience as an improv comedy workshop instructor.

I have music directed two fully staged musicals, three virtual musical projects, conducted a pit orchestra, led improv and audition workshops, and was music direction intern at the Jungle Theatre in Minneapolis. My staging experience includes musical theatre scenes, choreography, as well as two assistant director positions for light opera and musical theatre.
