As a voice teacher, I strive to help students find freedom, health, and expressivity in their singing while developing strong technical foundations. My teaching emphasizes breath management, resonance balance, and body awareness, always adapting to the unique needs of each singer. I am particularly passionate about guiding young singers in their first steps into classical voice, while also supporting singers in choral, operatic, and solo repertoire. My special interests include vocal pedagogy, diction, acting for singers, and bridging classical vocal traditions with diverse musical styles.

A few favorite things:
I love art, especially reading—entering an author’s world while directing sound and image in my imagination enriches me as artist and performer.
Most memorable musical moment:
The most unforgettable moments are intimate, spontaneous ones with friends or family, when music suddenly turns the ordinary into something sacred.
What music means to you:
Music is survival and connection—a way to understand ourselves and unite through our shared spiritual and human experiences
In addition to my musical career, I teach Spanish at the college level. My intercultural background enriches my teaching, helping me connect with students through both language and music.
