Hello! And thank you for visiting my website!

I have been singing and playing the violin for over twenty years.  I received a BA in music from Wesleyan University and Masters in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.  As a vocalist I have performed many genres of music including Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Celtic, Musical Theater and Jazz.  

I conducted the Monteverdi Vespers at the San Francisco Conservatory, sang with San Francisco’s modern choir Volti and freelanced all over the Bay Area. In the Northwest I conducted the choirs at South Puget Sound Community College. I was featured in Harlequin Theatre Production’s “Elephant Man” and “Stardust Series”, played with esteemed artists including Scott Cossu and Syd Potter, and lead my own jazz octet at the 2013 Governor’s Inaugural Ball.  For two years I had the honor of playing with Olympia's Erev Rav Klezmer Orchestra, voted 2013 Best Band of Olympia in the Weekly Volcano. 

Currently I perform around the Northwest with the Jessica Blinn Quartet, the Olympia Sacred Jazz Ensemble, and fabulous musicians including Vince Brown, Brad Schrant, Maria Joyner & Daven Tillinghast.   

As a teacher I am dedicated to creating environments in which students have fun and grow a sense of confidence and well being by developing their musical voices and attaining their musical goals.

For the past 20 year I have taught at numerous schools, camps, and programs including teaching voice at Wesleyan University; conducting the El Sobrante Waldorf School’s high school orchestra and choir; teaching violin, chamber music and choir for the Resurrection Lutheran Church Music Program; teaching group fiddle lessons at Fiddlekids (a fiddle camp for children ages 7-13); teaching private and group lessons at Yenney Music for the last twelve years. 
I currently run my own voice and violin studio, conduct the Olympia Jazz Singers, and am the voice teacher at South Puget Sound Community College.
