MY JOURNEY
Seussical - TTIP
As a teenager, I was gifted with a big voice and vibrant stage presence, but without proper guidance, this led to vocal strain and anxiety. In the 90s, there was little understanding of how emotional stress impacts the voice. Growing up in a tense environment only intensified my struggles, and my voice felt trapped and stifled, unable to break free.
Training in method acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute helped me release these stored emotions and set me on the path to healing. Later, under the guidance of a skilled vocal mentor, I trained classically and began performing in both opera, legit musical theatre and concert music for 10 years. Still, I always had a desire to master belting, something I believed was out of reach.

Disenchanted - STG
Freaky Friday - TTIP
Recently, I discovered the Lovetri Institute for Somatic Voicework™, where I've learned the deep connection between emotions and voice. This has allowed me to develop safe and powerful belting techniques and to continue exploring trauma's effect on singing. My mission is to help singers express any style with confidence, protect their voices, and build resilience.
I also coach corporate professionals, combining my voice, acting, and improv training to elevate their speeches and performances. There's nothing more rewarding than helping people unlock their full potential and grow in confidence.
