National and Regional (Mid-Atlantic) Member
I have participated in collegiate NATS competitions throughout my student academic career and am now happy to be a teaching member of this organization. In June 2013 I was honored to be hand selected as one of twelve young teachers invited to participate in the NATS Intern Program. This program is an exciting and innovative venture that seeks to pair experienced and recognized master teachers of voice with talented young members of NATS. Within a format designed to promote the dynamic exchange of ideas and techniques, the goal is to improve substantially the studio teaching skills of promising young teachers. I am so pleased to be an alumnus of this prestigious program.
