I’ve spent 25 years in the room where it happens. Now I’m putting everything I learned online — for you.
I’m a musical theatre writer, voice and acting coach, choral arranger, educator, and Berklee M.F.A. candidate. My coaching is shaped by deep technical listening and a writer’s understanding of how music and story work together.
I’ve served as rehearsal pianist for Jason Robert Brown and Stephen Schwartz, composed and arranged for Jonelle Allen, and Music Directed for Lindsay Mendez. As an OCSA alumnus and former faculty, my students have gone on to top college programs, professional productions, and performing careers.
Learn the craft. Deeply.
