A passionate performer and lover of life, I'm a singer and actor who can't imagine ever leaving the arts. I began my career early, singing in the Westminster Choir in Carnegie Hall with the Berlin Philharmonic at the age of nineteen, and have never looked back. Since then, I've made my solo debut at Carnegie and other amazing venues around the world, and I sing with world-famous ensembles at the Metropolitan Opera and the Washington National Opera. A dreamer at heart, I love stargazing, roller skating, growing beautiful greenery in my apartment, traveling, and dancing with friends.

My Mission

I strive to live each day to the fullest, participating in and creating meaningful works of art and media that make people think, lift up their spirits, or impact the world in unexpected ways.
