California raised, New York made opera singer of the dramatic coloratura soprano persuasion. I'm interested in telling human stories through the medium, and I believe that seeking out the most profound extremes of our thoughts and emotions through artistic expression is a non-negotiable necessity to societal wellbeing.

Being an artist of this genre, to me, means being a steward of centuries of musical genius and lending my life and breath to the art form. I live and train as an artist-athlete to fulfill that duty to the best of my ability. Favorite roles include Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Konstanze (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Amina (La sonnambula), Lakmé (Lakmé) and Madame Mao (Nixon in China).

Also a diehard sports fan, avid home cook, animal lover and cool aunt.
