Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with singing through childhood choirs, later exploring musical theatre, classical voice, and jazz. Whether performing with friends or on stage, music has always been a source of joy, connection, and confidence—and now I love helping families discover that same joy together.

I’ve been teaching early childhood music for over 15 years, including Music Together^® classes in Toronto since 2013. I’ve also taught with amazing community programs like Sistema Toronto and the AIFEC initiative at the Hamilton Music Collective, bringing music and movement into classrooms and children's lives.

I hold a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Victoria, with additional studies in jazz and performing arts. I’ve performed in opera, jazz, musical theatre, and choral settings—with groups like the Elora Festival Singers and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir—but my greatest joy is making music in a circle with children and families.

No experience is necessary—all voices are welcome here. Whether you sing professionally or just hum along in the car, your voice is the most important one to your child. I’d love to sing and play with you and your little one!
