Through my teaching, community cultivation, and ongoing performance projects, I seek to breathe love into the world, one song at a time. I love singing, I love adventure, and I LOVE sharing music with others. But perhaps you already guessed that about me. :)
My path has included many twists and turns and exciting moments for growth, but when I zoom out, I see that the path has always been leading me in this direction, right where I am today.
I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts in Music, as well as my Orff-Schulwerk Level 1 certification. I cherish these experiences and the teachers and guides who helped shape me along the way.
I have spent countless hours with comrades in sweaty (and sometimes air-conditioned) rehearsal rooms and onstage with theatre companies across the Pacific Northwest, including Elsinore Theatre, Broadway Rose, and Portland Opera.
In more recent years I have become a devoted student of yoga, Ayurveda, mindfulness, and meditation. These practices and deep ancient wisdom inform not only my teaching and music, but the way I seek to move and be in the world.
Perhaps my proudest and most world-shaking experience has been becoming a mother. Every day my little one teaches me something new about the world and I become more and more myself.
After a somewhat nomadic childhood, I am accustomed to new beginnings and have always found myself drawn to the welcoming winds of change. I now find deep comfort in the roots I have grown in my little corner of the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Oregon, to be exact) with my spouse, our little one, and our sweet pups. This is home.
