About
I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, and music has shaped every stage of my life. After earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Voice Performance from Manhattan School of Music, I’ve had the opportunity to perform throughout the United States and Europe in opera, concert, and chamber music settings. What I love most about performing is the ability to connect with audiences through storytelling—whether on the opera stage, in an intimate recital, or as a soloist with orchestra.
My musical interests are wide-ranging, from opera and art song to chamber music and contemporary works, and I’m especially drawn to programs that explore the relationship between music, poetry, and culture. Beyond performing, I am passionate about arts education and advocacy. As both a professional musician and arts administrator, I am dedicated to helping ensure that music remains accessible, relevant, and transformative for future generations.
Music
As a classical soprano, I primarily perform music from the opera, concert, and art song traditions. Much of the repertoire I sing comes from Europe, particularly Italy, Germany, France, Austria, and Russia, spanning several centuries of musical history. I am especially drawn to works that tell compelling stories and explore the full range of human emotion, whether through opera, sacred music, or intimate song settings.
One of the things I love most about classical music is its incredible variety. I love curating recital programs that connect with a particular moment in time, whether celebrating the holiday season, Valentine's Day, Independence Day, a significant historical anniversary, or a composer's centennial. Creating programs around these themes allows me to share familiar music in new ways and help audiences discover unexpected connections between music, history, and culture. No matter the style or language, I am always interested in music that creates a meaningful connection
