About Me

I am a wife, a mom, a proud East Coaster, fitness fanatic, and lover of all things French.

I have been singing for as long as I can remember. Music immediately drew me in as a child and I wanted to be a part of it.

I have also always been driven by stories, both fiction and non-fiction. Many cultures pass down their history through stories and oral tradition.

The combination of singing and compelling storytelling is why I am so drawn to musical theatre and Art Song.
