About Me
My career has not taken a linear path, but with each twist and turn, the heart of what I do remains the same:
I help people use their voices.
I started my career as a choral director and voice coach with a Masters in Music Education. One of the things I love about choir is that it combines everything: vocal technique, presentation ability, and storytelling.
By helping students develop a strong foundation in these skills, I saw first-hand how transformational it is for individuals to learn the skills to use their voice authentically and expressively. After all,
Music is nothing if it’s not communication.
It’s this love of helping people communicate that led me to my next venture — content writing for startups and enterprise companies. In these roles, I continued to hone the skills I used as a choir director: clarity of word choice, connecting with an audience, and communicating with authenticity…perhaps with a bit less discussion about the soft palate.
After 4 years of doing the corporate thing, I realized I wanted to go out on my own…and move to Paris, France.
Now, I am building a career around my passions for people, storytelling, humor, the power of the voice to help people connect to others and accomplish their goals.
In my free time, I can be found exploring Paris, taking in the rich cultural offerings of the city--including many, many pastries. I am a theatre kid at heart and nothing makes me happier than a well-executed tap break, so I try to see as many shows as I can. My bread and butter is writing, and I love to write about my observations of the world around me, both in essays and stand-up sets, which I sometimes perform as well.
My goal is encourage you to share your voices in ways that are authentic and captivating to build a world in which we all feel empowered to share our unique gifts. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
