NATS INTERN PROGRAM 2026: After an amazing 10 days, I’m home from SC and the @officialnats Intern Program.

Thank you to my student, @jherna_2207, for all of your hard work. Your voice is amazing and I can’t wait to see how you grow! I’m glad to be just a small part of your singing journey.

To my teaching cohort, @albafrancocancel, @carly.wingfield, and Teresa Vaughan, thank you for showing me how to look at voice teaching in a new light (or several new lights!)

Thank you to my Master Teacher, @jerryelsbernd, for your kindness, wisdom, and for just being you. I’m glad to have you as a mentor and I am so lucky to learn from you.

To the queens of 304, @haileyclarksopran, @erintaur, @desiree.howe17, and our two honorary apartmentmates @david_b_clark and @bradleytsowell, thank you for being my safe place, my sounding board, and for the many years of friendship and goofiness to come!

Thank you @officialnats for the experience of a lifetime 🎶🖤

🌙🐻Opera America & La Calisto🐻🌙

A bit late to posting but wow, was three weeks ago a magical moment! I had the pleasure of volunteering a bit for the Opera America Conference. The staff, attendees, and connections I experienced will be forever treasured. I had such a blast I even signed up for a membership 😆

Designing this encore performance of La Calisto was nothing but magical!! I’m so blessed to have an amazing beauty team, and fabulous cast and crew! The amount of glitter that was left on that stage was incredible. I’ve never experienced a crowd reaction like opening night for the conference attendees. Just fabulous! 🥹

Maybe it was you. Maybe it was me. But it sure felt right.

XOXO, Memphis. Until next time. 💋

A collection of my favorite memories from this past year with @operamemphis ☺️

What a ride it has been! I'm lucky beyond measure to have spent a year with the people of Memphis, my fellow HCA's, and all of the amazing folks at Opera Memphis! So grateful to have been able to make art in a city where people love a festival, where there's a show going on somewhere almost every night, and where spontaneous singing is welcomed with open arms.

Until we meet again 🤙
