Welcome

Welcome to my website. Please check back regularly as I continue to add more information about my activities and upcoming performances.

In September, 2010, I relocated to New York City and The Manhattan School of Music, where I am pursuing studies towards a Master's Degree in Vocal Performance under the guidance of Catherine Malfitano. In the Spring term of 2011 at MSM among other activities I will be appearing in Ravel's L'enfant et les sortileges and and am thrilled to be performing the role of "Mimi" in a concert presentation of Puccini's beloved La Boheme.

Aside from my studies at Manhattan School, I'm excited to be returning to perform in my hometown of Ottawa twice this Spring. On March 11 & 12, 2011, I will rejoin Ottawa Pocket Opera to appear as "Lucy" in Gian Carlo Menotti's delightful one-act opera The Telephone, and I will go back again in May to sing "Michaela" in the Pellegrini Opera production of Bizet's Carmen (May 27 & 28, 2011).

June 2010 found me back with Nickel City Opera in Buffalo, NY, appearing in their production of Rigoletto, where I was also named the Edwin G. Levy Young Artist for 2010, and received the associated grant. It was with NCO that I made my international début in their 2009 production of Rossini's The Barber of Seville. I invite you to visit my media page and watch a clip of John Packard and I as Rosina and Figaro in that production!

In August 2010 I enjoyed the exciting experience of participating in the International Vocal Arts Institute's Canadian Vocal Arts Institute program in Montréal, where I benefitted from working with teachers and coaches including Joan Dorneman, Mignon Dunn, and many others.

On June 26th and 28th, 2009 I appeared as “Rosina” in the critically acclaimed Nickel City Opera/Ottawa Pocket Opera production of Rossini's comic gem The Barber of Seville at the Riviera Theatre in Buffalo, New York, alongside John Packard as “Figaro”, Benjamin Brecher as “Count Almaviva”, and Valerian Ruminski as “Basilio”.
