Available to hire
I am a vocal pedagogue and choral leader with a passion for musical theatre, jazz, and popular music. I design engaging voice training programmes, lead choirs, and develop performance-focused curricula that blend classical vocal technique with contemporary styles. I am dedicated to creating inspiring musical experiences for both students and community ensembles.
Across education and professional settings I mentor singers, develop vocal arrangements, lead workshops, and advocate for vocal health and sustainable singing practices that empower people of all ages.
