Educator.

"I believe every individual that uses the voice, the instrument, should commit to a technique that bridges vocal anatomy, physiology, and performance. My mission is to develop the singer by apprehending the proper use of the instrument and cultivating the ability to maneuver practical everyday life as a singer/performer in the pursuit of vocal longevity."
