About me:
“Music expresses that which cannot remain silent and that which cannot be put into words.” – Victor Hugo
I deeply resonate with this sentiment, as I too believe in the transformative power of music. My mother often jokes that I was singing from the moment I was born. While that might not be entirely accurate, my journey with music began at a very young age—I have been singing since I was a toddler.
I began my formal vocal training under the guidance of Peter Dahl in 2009 and further honed my skills by studying singing as a subject in high school. Later, I graduated from Oakfields College with a diploma in Musical Theatre, receiving comprehensive training in various vocal styles, including a cappella. My voice type spans Mezzo-Soprano, Soprano, and Alto, with a vocal range from G3 to F6.
For the past three years, I have worked as a vocal coach, mentoring students of all ages and backgrounds. My teaching philosophy emphasizes vocal technique, confidence-building, and fostering a lifelong love for music. Teaching has become my passion, and I feel immense joy watching my students grow and step into their singing careers.
