Her coaching credits include Big Voice Studios alongside renowned Canadian vocal coach Elaine Overholt, Canada’s Music Incubator’s Artist Entrepreneur Program, and SING!

With extensive cross-genre experience, strong technical foundation, and an active performing career, she equips singers with both the technical tools and the mindset to step confidently into their own expression.
