"I'm a classically trained voice and piano teacher with a BA in Music and Theater from Columbia College Chicago and Illinois K-12 Music Teacher Certification. But here's the real talk: I believe music is soul food, and every voice has its own flavor waiting to be discovered. Whether you're finding your sound for the first time or seasoning your skills for the stage, we'll cook up something special together.

My teaching style is all about meeting you where you are and bringing out what's already inside you. I've worked with everyone from nervous beginners to seasoned performers, creating custom warm-ups and choosing songs that light a fire in you. We'll build healthy technique - breath support, range, tone - but we'll also tap into the heart of it. Because what's technique without soul? I teach across genres - jazz, gospel, pop, classical, musical theater - and I give you practice tools to keep growing between our sessions.

As a working performer - I've sung at Carnegie Hall with SHM Chorale, rocked out with Foreigner, and poured my heart out with jazz ensembles and gospel choirs - I know what it takes to move an audience. Trained under vocal powerhouses Cheryl Porter and Bobbi Wilson, I bring that real-world heat to every lesson. My goal? Help you find your authentic voice and the confidence to let it shine. Let's make some music that feeds the soul." less...
