MY BACKGROUND/experience:
I attended Weber State University and received a B.S Degree in Theater Arts / Musical Theater Emphasis.
Private Voice Studies:
Classical voice: Evelyn Harris, Rosemary Mathews, Karen Brookens-Bruestle
Musical Theater: Ken Plain, Victoria Mallory, and Jim Christian.
I have been teaching for over 30 years. I started teaching when I was 21 years old. My personal coach at the time was planning on moving and asked if I felt ready to teach, and If I would consider taking over a few of her beginner students. I was thrilled and nervous all at the same time, but I jumped in with both feet, and within a few weeks, had over 30 students and I was learning the ropes as I went! I was so glad that I had a teacher that not I trusted and who trusted and believed in me, and I've been teaching ever since. I have loved working with every student over the years. . I love helping students learn and grow and It's a pleasure to see where they go once they leave my studio!
