I balance my time between performing as a classical singer and teaching music.
"My Gender, Sexuality and Feminist studies at Duke provided me with tools and perspectives that continue to inform my professional work as a performer and teacher. On the recital stage, I have channeled this interest into a focus on interpreting art song by women composers, for which I have received national recognition. In the voice studio, I teach as part of the Representing Gender interdisciplinary course cluster, which allows me to use a gender lens to explore music repertoire and interpretations with students. The interdisciplinary nature of the field allows it to enhance work in the music field."
