If you want more detail on my performance history, I have included a copy of my opera resume:
I spent my childhood and adolescence on the west coast, where I reside today.
Music has always been a part of me. I saw my first opera at four years old. I squeaked out my first few notes on the violin at six years old. But it wasn’t until the age of fourteen that I began to study the activity that already felt like second nature to me- singing.
Since then I have focused on developing my singing voice and helping others to do the same.
I moved to Portland, OR to pursue a Bachelors of Music at Portland State University. This exposed me not only to more opera productions, but choral music as well. I graduated in 2014.
After a two years of working and teaching, I began studying for a Masters Degree at the Schwob School of Music in Columbus GA. There was much improvement in technique and musicianship, but also costumes that were maybe just a little too much fun to perform in:

In the Spring of 2019, I returned to the west coast with my degree and more experience.
Today, I continue to work, teach, and perform whatever else is required of me as an opera nerd.
