about me & music

I studied music and drama at Stephens College, Columbia MO. and have a long-standing reputation as a fine soloist,actress, and versatile entertainer, having performed for a wide variety of occasions in venues throughout the Southeast and in Europe. As a well respected vocal artist, I am at home singing all different styles.

Chorally, I sang with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus and Chamber Chorus for 10 seasons, touring Europe and singing on the stages at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York. I was delighted to return to the ranks of the Chamber Chorus again for the 2001-2002 season.

As a soloist, I perform for audiences large and small, from weddings to stage shows to intimate restaurant settings. Favorite stage credits include "Music Man" with Theater of the Stars at the Fabulous Fox; my boffo one-woman show, "All Grown Up!" at the Rialto Theater for the Performing Arts ; and the Mezzo Soprano/Alto solos in numerous classical works including Handel's Messiah in venues throughout Atlanta, and Beethoven's Mass in C with the Coastal Symphony of Georgia.

I taught music and was Head of the Music Department at the Heritage School for 3 years, and I am a certified Level One Orff Schulwerk instructor. Many years of leading music for Vacation Bible Schools and directing Childrens' Choirs and Summer Music Camps are also under my belt.

For nine years I held the position of Staff Singer at St. Mark United Methodist Church in midtown Atlanta. In May, 2004 I resigned to devote my energies fulltime to another creative endeavor. On June 2, 2007 I graduated summa cum laude from Savannah College of Art and Design having earned a B.F.A. with a concentration in painting.
