Throughout my studies as a classical singer, my teachers had interjected principles of the Alexander Technique in my voice lessons. Later on, I decided to take a deeper look into the AT and audited a group class at McNally Smith College of Music, where I was teaching voice at the time. As I began to study the Alexander Technique in depth, I started to notice more freedom in my breathing and singing. There was a lightness in my whole being that allowed me to enjoy what I was doing in a different way than I had ever experienced before. This feeling gave me more peace and confidence within myself. This same feeling permeated other areas of my everyday life and helped me manage stress better.

In 2020, I completed my training with Brian McCullough, who is the director of Minnesota Center for Alexander Technique, where I am currently assistant faculty on the training course and assist in the AT group class at University of Minnesota. The course is made up of mostly students earning degrees in music performance. I was invited to spend five weeks as assistant faculty to Karen DeWig at the Alexander Technique Center of Albuquerque.

In addition to my teacher, Brian McCullough, I have been fortunate to work with Lauren Hill and Tully Hall. While I was in training, I attended workshops with Missy Vineyard, John Nicholls, Pedro de Alcantara, Karen DeWig and Wes Howard. In 2020, I completed an online webinar for Musculoskeletal Anatomy, as well as Breathing and the Voice lecture series through the Dimon Institute. Additionally, I took part in classes on spirals with Alice Olsher. I have co-taught classes on the Alexander Technique at University of Northwestern and Concordia University in Minnesota, and have been a workshop presenter at University of Wisconsin, River Falls, GreenRoom Fellowship, Teatro del Pueblo and Opera Reading Project. 

I enjoy working with musicians and anyone searching for more balance, less tension and reducing chronic pain in approaching day to day activities.As a voice teacher, I approach the lessons through the lens of the Alexander Technique.
