About Me

I am currently singing on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas til late November!

I came out my mother's womb singing, by c-section. My first obsession was Annie, singing Tomorrow on kitchen tables at family and friends homes. I caught the bug when I started doing musical theatre in third grade. Then came the shattered dream of being a mousketeer. Never one to be side tracked, I continued doing theatre through high school, but kept my vocal passion quiet. In college, I embraced my talent and performed in dozens of musical theatre performances receiving critical acclaim. I love exploring all types of performance arts, but singing is in the bones. Jazz, Soul, R&B, Blues, Opera, Musical Theatre.... I am a musical chameleon and will soon dominate your soul!!!
