About Me

I am a recent graduate from UNLV with degrees in Psychology and Human Services Counseling, and am currently training as an opera singer under Dr. Tod Fitzpatrick. I sing with the University Concert Singers and Chamber Choir, the Las Vegas Master Singers, and as a soloist for various local events. I also play the guitar under the influence of Dave Matthews, and enjoy coming up with sweet sounding riffs. Weekend mornings from 5-10 I can be heard on Vegas #1 hit music station mix 94.1 (streaming at http://mix941.fm).I am a freelance artist and photographer. I enjoy working with acrylics, charcoal, and light-painting. I also enjoy doing experimental photography, nature shots, and portraiture. You can see examples of my work at http://navandale.deviantart.com.I am a writer, and have 2 unfinished novels that will hopefully be finished within the next couple years. I also write poetry and song lyrics, usually around the themes of love and personal/universal awareness and transcendence.I practice yoga and pilates, but prefer Yoga. I rock-climb and hike as often as possible, and go camping at least once every few months. I play disc-golf whenever I can, and have extra discs if you ever want to join me (it is the most fun, zero-impact, cost-free, time-consuming activity you can do!!!)To purchase artwork, please visit http://navandale.deviantart.com/
