I’m a singer based in the Twin Cities, and even after 20+ years working in the music industry, I’m still fascinated that I’ve managed to sustain a career that consists of singing songs with my friends.  I was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and I spent my childhood singing.  I was in every choir, I auditioned for every musical, and I entered every singing competition I could find.  I moved to the Twin Cities to study music performance with no assumption or assurance that a professional life in music was actually possible.

I went to MusicTech, which later became McNally Smith College of Music.  I often say this is the place where I learned everything and met everyone, which sounds like hyperbole, but holds a reasonable amount of truth.  I spent those formative years going to multiple shows a week (often multiple shows a night) watching my teachers perform.  I said yes to every single gig I was offered, and boy do I have some stories!  I grew up loving jazz, but learned quickly that being versatile is way more fun.  I love it all, I’ve sung it all. 

I’m a mom of two extraordinary daughters.  Every day they teach me the most important things about life: humility, patience, integrity, honesty, kindness, deep love and presence.  How we spend our time and who we spend it with matters so much. I’m so honored to spend my life with my family and making music with my friends. It’s a complete joy.
