What I'm looking for

I seek roles at organizations that value education, community and culture, and develop collaborative, mission-driven teams.

I am a dedicated choral director and voice pedagogue with extensive experience leading K–12 and community music programs, college-level instruction, and festival operations. I build curriculum, direct performances, and mentor students pursuing arts-related higher education.

At Westminster Christian School I created a 4th–12th grade choral curriculum, managed a $20,000 program budget, and supervised five adjunct teachers while developing new high school courses, including a dual-enrollment class with Florida International University.

I coordinate large-scale festival operations for LutheranSummer Music—handling housing, dining, logistics for 200+ participants, staffing, and donor and public events—and administer a long-running concert series where I run fundraising, marketing, volunteer coordination, and performance duties.

I combine strong organizational and communication skills with hands-on teaching and performance experience, mentoring students in audition and portfolio preparation and preparing students at all levels for juries, recitals, and adjudications.
