What I'm looking for

I seek performing opportunities in opera, oratorio, and early-music ensembles with professional companies that value musicality, versatility, and collaborative coaching, offering roles that expand my repertoire and artistic growth.

I am a Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano with a broad operatic and oratorio repertoire, having performed roles such as Susanna, Mrs. Gleaton, Ruggiero, Despina, Pamina, Musetta and La Musica/Prologue with university and professional companies.

I hold an M.M. in Opera Performance from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.M. in Vocal Performance from the Conservatory of Music in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with voice study under Gilda Cruz-Romo and Susan Young; my awards include the Getty Fund Scholarship, the Dr. & Mrs. Ernest C. Centennial Scholarship in Opera, and 3rd Prize from the Metropolitan Opera Council, District of Puerto Rico.

I collaborate regularly with early-music ensembles and opera choruses, continue vocal study in Dallas, and bring musicianship, versatility, and a commitment to stylistically informed, expressive performance to every engagement.
