Past Projects

Vocalist

Early music; really new music. Music in between.

My repertoire has encompassed works by early Western classical composers like Francesca Caccini and works specifically written for me by current artists.

Director

Creating inclusive, accessible, consent-forward spaces.

I’ve directed fully-staged operas and short online plays; I work collaboratively with artists to create their characterization and tell their stories.

Instructor

Lessons, workshops, courses.

I’m certified to teach gender-affirming voice and work with professional, amateur, and beginning singers and voice users.

University courses: Opera Workshop, Diction for Singers, Voice Pedagogy
