I am a singer, actor, director, and producer based in New York City. I hold a Master’s degree in Music from Mannes Conservatory and a Certificate in Meisner Acting Technique from the Terry Knickerbocker Studio.

At the center of my work is a belief that the voice is not only a technical instrument, but a deeply human one. I’m passionate about helping people gain access to their voice and their truth—so they can communicate and express themselves with clarity, confidence, and resonance.

My experience directing immersive opera theatre taught me how to support performers in staying grounded and authentic while working with demanding material. Through this work, I learned how powerful it can be when technical skill and emotional truth are held together, rather than treated as separate pursuits.

My training in Meisner acting technique further deepened my understanding of the inner life that shapes how we speak, sing, and show up. This approach has influenced the way I work with voice—attending not only to breath, sound, and structure, but also to intention, meaning, and presence.

Beyond technique, I’m often told by colleagues and students that I create a space where they feel supported and seen. That matters deeply to me. Whether someone is working with speaking, singing, or creative expression, my aim is to nurture potential while offering thoughtful, grounded guidance.

Today, my work takes place primarily through the Voice Studio—an ongoing, studio-based environment designed for people who want to develop their voice over time, with care and consistency.
