About Me

I was classically trained at Saint Louis University under Professor Jeral Becker while studying theatre, and I’ve always loved the intersection of strong technique and honest emotion. My style is mostly classical, but my musical theatre background adds warmth and versatility. I’ve been singing at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis since 2009 as a member of the Contemporary Music Ensemble, and I’m also part of the Cantor Ministry, singing for weddings and funerals throughout the year.

I began singing at the age of seven when I was chosen for a solo at my First Communion. There’s actually a funny story about that—at the rehearsal the night before, my mom was sitting way in the back and couldn’t see the altar clearly. I sang my solo and came back to my seat like nothing had happened. Afterward, someone came up to her and said, “Your daughter has such a beautiful voice!” Her response? “Wait, that was my kid?!” From that moment on, I knew that singing was something special for me—and for the people around me.

My journey into singing for special events started early—first at my grandmother’s funeral when I was in high school, and later at my sister’s wedding. Those moments helped me realize how powerful music can be, whether in comforting grief or celebrating love. When I lost my own mother, Kathy, in 2008, her final wish was that I keep singing. She believed in the joy it brings to others, and ever since, I’ve carried that wish in my heart.

My favorite piece to sing is Schubert’s Ave Maria—it captures something sacred and emotional that words alone often can’t express. I feel incredibly honored to sing at weddings, funerals, and other milestones. I know firsthand that music can’t take away pain, but it can be a balm for a moment. And it can elevate joy, too—marking a memory in a way that stays with you. My performances are driven by emotion and storytelling, aiming to convey the heart and spirit of every piece. Whether I'm on stage or in the studio, my goal is to create an experience that moves and resonates with my audience on a deep level.

What makes this work truly meaningful to me is getting to know the people I’m singing for. I take time to learn their stories, their favorite songs, and what matters most to them. I believe that when there’s a connection, the music becomes so much more than a performance—it becomes part of the moment itself.
