Hi! I am a working singer, voice over artist and vocal coach. As a vocal coach I have worked for 13+ years coaching actors, musical theatre and contemporary vocalists in high schools, tertiary institutions and in my private studio. I have a particular passion and drive for vocal rehabilitation and am well known as a vocal coach in New Zealand who is experienced in this area. As a voice over artist I have worked for a range of clients for a number of years, working primarily in advertising with some recent narration work as well, most notably I've been a station voice at TVNZ (Television New Zealand) since 2014.

As a performer I have had the privilege of being involved in many musical theatre productions, most recently playing Diana in 'Next to Normal', as of mid 2024 I have taken on a role with a company that means I will be hitting the road again as a touring vocalist, I have contracts with them till the end of 2025 so far and so would like to move my one on one coaching online. I have a degree in Musical Theatre, Level 1&2 in Estill Voice Training, studied Meisner and continue to up-skill and work towards other certifications to further support her coaching, at present in the areas of performance psychology and advanced vocal anatomy.

I am encouraging, relaxed, emphatic, responsive and focused completely on the goals and needs of the vocalist I'm working with. I listen well, have a great sense of humor and pride myself on getting to know each individual and meeting them where they are at.
