Hi! This is my first year working at Ivy Hall, but I have had children go through the fabulous programs since 2010. Interestingly, my husband attended Ivy Hall when he was in junior high, so our family has loved Ivy Hall for a very long time! I have a Bachelor’s in Music from Brigham Young University, with a minor in chemistry, and a Master’s in  Music from Cleveland Institute of Music. My specialty is voice performance. I have performed in operas all over the world; my favorite role is a toss-up between Madame Butterfly by Puccini and Violetta from La Traviata. I also teach elementary music education classes from my home (I am Kodaly certified) as well as private piano and voice lessons. I speak Italian, French, and German. My husband and I have been married for 15 years and have lived in 5 different states in that time and we have three children.
