Her previous CMT vocal directing credits include The Music Man, Oklahoma!, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Once on the Island, Head Over Heels, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Much of her career has been a balance of teaching and performance.

A proud alum of Chapman University (BM, Voice Performance) and Penn State (MM, Voice Performance and Pedagogy), she is a self-proclaimed voice nerd who delights in combining healthy vocal technique, thoughtful musicality, and expressive acting to bring stories to life!  She is the Theater Director at Presentation High School where she has worn many hats such as classroom teacher, stage director, vocal director, costume designer, intimacy coordinator, scenic painter, and anything else the current production needs.
