Who I am

I am a passionate pedagogue and performer. As a voice teacher, I see my role as both a technician and a mentor. I love the science of the voice, and the magic of it, too. I want to help you find your magic through ease in singing and artistic exploration. I tailor my teaching to the singer, and focus on accentuating what is uniquely “you”.

Whether you are working towards an audition, performance, or rekindling your love for singing, I will help you along your journey. You will be challenged to connect to yourself and others, achieve things you didn’t think possible, all while finding more efficiency, joy, and embodiment in the act of singing.

I teach virtually and in-person, in Toronto, Canada. Most of my studio is virtual! I have optimized my virtual teaching setup to insure great audio and low latency. I have found no decrease in efficacy between virtual and in-person lessons.
