I’m commited to the interpretation of new operatic works and collaboration with composers. For example, I premiered the role of Verlena Sue in A Wake or A Wedding by Richard Pearson Thomas with Encompass New Opera (NYC) and the role of GH in The Passion According to GH by Lacy Rose, as part of aMabou Mines Residency (NYC). Other highlights of my operatic work include Juliana in Argento's The Aspern Papers, Echo in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos and Blanche in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. In the 2019-2020 season, I was a Resident Artist with Toledo Opera, appearing as Gretel in Hansel and Gretel vs the Witch, The Plaintiff in Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury and Lady-In-Waiting and First Witch in Monk Tarrots' new production of Verdi's Macbeth. Since 2013, I have performed with the Bard Summerscape Opera Chorus and I was a featured soloist in Anton Rubinstein's Demon and Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Das Wunder der Heliane. In the 2022-2023 season, I’m thrilled to be returning to Toledo Opera as Valencienne in Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow.

Now, something important to remember is that my professional musical career began in the world of operetta, and that art form continues to be an important part of my repertoire. In my time working with Ohio Light Opera, I was Phyllis in Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe, Bellabruna in Romberg's Blossom Time and Masha in Oscar Strauss's The Chocolate Solider. I also , appear on the only contemporary professional recording of Romberg's Blossom Time, produced by Albany Records. In 2019, I was selected to perform in the German Operetta Program with Opera Programs Berlin, where I explored German operetta works by Lehár and Künneke. ​

I am equally at home on the musical theater stage, where my background in ballet, tap and Irish dance proves useful on a regular basis. Some of my favorite roles include: Ann in Sondheim's A Little Night Music with the Connecticut Players; Cathy in Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years and Sarah Jane Moore in Sondheim's Assassins, both with Eastman Opera Theater. During my time at Eastman, I was selected twice to compete as a semi-finalist in the Lotte Lenya Competition, which celebrates the works of Kurt Weill and promotes musical and theatrical interpretation at the highest level. My love for musical theater started early, and I’ve always believed in it as a vital tool for music education and building community. I have a deep personal connection to Off-Beat Players, a Greenwich-based organization committed to performing musicals with an integrated ensemble of children with and without special needs. My most notable work with that organization was as the music director of Smalls & Brown's The Wiz. I also worked as Resident Artist with Surflight Music Theater's Surflight-To-Go program, touring educational musical theater programs into local schools throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, and developing an original show to teach children about the environment.

That’s not all though! My career has given me varied experience on the concert stage, art song, opera and oratorio. Some of my concert highlights include Miss Havisham in Argento's Miss Havisham's Wedding Night, Soprano Soloist with Alicia Lieu at the MUSE Festival (NYC), the premiere of Richard Pearson Thomas's song cycle Portraits of Imagined Love, and Soprano Soloist in Brahm's Ein deutsches Requiem and Mozart's Requiem with Third Presbyterian Church (Rochester, NY). I worked with the German Song Studio under Thomas Muraco with the Art Song Preservation Society of New York, exploring songs by Wolf and Schubert. During the 2019-2020 concert season, I represented the United States as a Soprano Soloist in the Japan-Tawian-USA Friendship Concert with CATCH US PERFORMING ARTS (CUPA).

My concert work has included a number of original shows and programs as I have worked to stretch and hone my creative work. In collaboration with St. Michael's in the Hills and the Toledo Opera Resident Artists, I presented Nevertheless, We Persist, a concert which explores the positive and negative aspects of operatic depictions of women and their stories throughout history. In collaboration with The Pleiades Project, I produced World of Miyabi, Café 1907, and Come Down Angels. During 2021, The Pleiades Project presented A Women's Suffrage Splendiferous Extravaganza!, a vaudevillian revue I co-wrote with Noelle McMurtry and November Christine; the show celebrates and problematizing the US women's suffrage movement, through a generous grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

In 2015, I founded The Pleiades Project with my long-time collaborator Elizabeth van Os. During the life of the organization I expanded my interdisciplinary skills as a director, writer, programmer and producer. I produced and starred in the short-film Così, excerpted from W.A. Mozart's Così fan tutte, which was named an official selection of the NY Indie Theatre Film Festival. I also directed Pleiades | 24, a collection of videos based on the 17th and 18th-century song collection, Twenty-Four Italian Songs & Arias. I also produced the upcoming short opera film Ophélie, excerpted from Ambroise Thomas's Hamlet. Ophélie is an official selection of the Worldwide Women's Film Festival and a finalist for the World Music & Independent Film Festival. My other film work includes directing and producing German Romantics, in collaboration with INSeries, producing MIZZI Hope I Movement II, and an appearance in the INSeries production of Melissa Dunphy’s Gonzales Cantata.

Since 2018, I have trained in the circus and aerial arts, which I have incorporated into my opera and film work on an ongoing basis. I worked with collaborator Erin Garber-Pearson, a Toledo-based circus artist on Aber, a short film combining aerial dance with a live performance of "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit" from Johannes Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem, which was released in the summer of 2020.

Finally, I have a BA in English Literature and Music from Washington University in St. Louis and an MM in Vocal Performance & Literature from the Eastman School of Music. I live in Upper Manhattan with with my bluegrass-playing husband and my un-impressed pitbull Maya.
