BIOGRPHY
I first received my formal education studying with Barbara Collier. I then attended the University of Toronto, earning a Bachelor of Music in Performance, studying with Lois McDonall. Today I am taking my voice to the next level by studying with Carol Baggott Forte. I have performed for many prestigious organizations, including the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Elora Festival Singers, and Tafelmusik Chamber Choir. ​In 2014, I returned to school to continue my education, but still maintained a few singing engagements. In December of that year I debuted with the Nota Bene Baroque Players performing as Second Soprano soloist in Bach's Magnificat. In 2023 I was the recipient of the Forest City London Music Award in the Classical Vocal Solo category.
Engagements include Bach's Mass in B Minor with Voices, Mozart's Mass in C Minor with Masterworks of Oakville Chorus & Orchestra, Bach's Cantatas 147 and 80 with Pax Christie Chorale, Handel's Messiah with the Stratford Concert Choir, and Handel's Solomon with Masterworks of Oakville. I also had the pleasure of preparing a recital featuring, among other 20th Century composers, the composition "Chamber Music" by Canadian Alan Heard. Since 2016, I have been focusing on developing a new Early Music ensemble called Kammerchor London, which was the 2020 and 2023 recipient of the Forest City London Music Awards in the Classical Choir category.
