"I studied musical theatre and voice with Ms. Elizabeth for several years starting at age 6. She prepared we so well for the world of theatre by teaching me not only technique, but the proper morals and lessons we should take away from doing theatre. She directed shows with the perfect balance of kindness and business so that every kid felt encouraged but also determined and driven. In musical theatre class, I was given excellent training for singing and dancing at the same time. I learned how to be creative, think quick, and apply all of my knowledge to performing. I learned how to sing properly from a young age without hurting my voice. She is able to drill both vocal and dance technique while keeping a positive and creative environment. Without the training I recieved from Ms. Elizabeth I would not be where I am today!

My passion for the arts blossomed at a young age, evident in my spirited and energetic nature. My innate drive for artistic expression led to immersing myself in various disciplines throughout my adolescence, culminating in my acceptance to the esteemed Berklee College of Music. There, I collaborated with industry legends like Quincy Jones and Patrice Russian, and trained under renowned choreographers such as "Otis the Creator," known for his work on The Wiz. My journey reached new heights when I was cast in a production helmed by Michael Bearden, Michael Jackson's last Musical Director. I then went on to share stages with Stevie Wonder and many others. Today, I nurture my own talented children and teach vocal techniques, songwriting, music theory, and college preparation to aspiring singers, continuing to inspire and empower the next generation of performers.
