Since 2020 she has been a featured vocalist for the band, Blue Water Kings, performing all across the state of Michigan and northern Ohio.

I believe in the importance of a young, and/or developing singer to adapt a healthy way of singing, so as to avoid developing bad habits that must be unlearned down the road. My instruction includes proper vocal technique, vocal production, and breath support, with an emphasis on vowel production and voice placement. In addition, developing a strong stage presence is important with respect to communicating the text and meaning of the music to the audience. I encourage my students to explore a variety of musical styles and believe it is beneficial to assign age-appropriate repertoire that follows the student throughout their developmental stages. Most importantly, I strive to find ways to make music interesting and exciting to my students. It is this excitement that keeps the student engaged and committed to continue learning and improving upon their skills as a singer, musician and performer.
