where sustainable vocal function meets individual artistry
has a history, with its own unique strengths, patterns, habits, and needs. By working to understand where your voice is today, we can chart a course toward where you want it to be.
Drawing from an interdisciplinary education spanning voice science, contemporary musicianship, motor learning theory, and performance psychology, my teaching approach balances science-informed strategies to optimize healthy vocal function with student-led collaboration to evoke personal artistry.
I have presented original voice pedagogy and performance psychology research at regional, national, and international conferences. I have also developed curriculum and delivered workshops for various studios and educational platforms.
As a continuation of my MA research on Acceptance and Commitment Training, I also offer individual creative coaching based in this powerful framework.
Through a variety of experiential exercises, ACT helps artists of all disciplines refine their values, find personal resonance in creative practice, and set a purposeful course forward.

performing in the bay and beyond
After a three-year hiatus to complete my university education, I’m delighted to return to performance and the immense learning opportunities that come with it.
While some folks in the Bay Area may remember my previous lives as a rock songwriter, the scrappy auteur of a popular fringe musical, or the foremost local interpreter of David Bowie, I have now fallen intractably in love with jazz.
I have the pleasure of singing with a variety of brilliant local musicians. The best way to keep up with upcoming performances is to follow me on Instagram.
Let’s work together.
