CLA Participation
Italy 2019

Recent News
I just graduated from Eastman with a BM in Vocal Performance, a minor in Italian, and a certificate in Arts Leadership! I will be starting at CCM (Cincinnati Conservatory of Music) next year and was supposed to be a part of
Brevard's Janiec Opera Company this summer.

What was your favorite aspect of CLA?
The supportive community of passionate artists.

How has CLA impacted your personal journey?
It confirmed and developed my love for language learning and motivates me to maintain my level of fluency and passion for Italian.

How are you continuing to create in this time of isolation?
I began a little online voice studio and already have 6 wonderful students! Teaching helps me learn so much about my own singing and it has been very motivating. I am also continuing to learn the roles I was supposed to perform this summer, as well as finally hitting those challenging arias I hope to add to my package in the future. I plan to continue to coach with my mentors over the summer as well as take lessons with my new professor at CCM.
