5 years ago today I played my first show with Goons. At the time I was going through some major transitions—I felt pretty unsure of what I was doing constantly, but put one foot in front of the other. Singing was changing too, and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do creatively. And then there was an invitation to be a part of this band.

Saying yes to Goons was one of the best decisions I ever made. It brought me out of myself, challenged my assumptions about what I could or couldn’t do, and reminded me of how good sharing music can be. And somehow I managed to swing getting hitched to along the way 💖

If you are wondering whether or not to take a risk on a new environment to share your voice in, maybe this is your sign to take the leap. Go to that open mic. Go for that audition. Take that voice lesson. Join that choir. Show up for that songwriters circle. You never know how many wonderful moments and relationships are waiting for you on the other side.

Singers are signing up! This 4 week program is going to be a blast 😍 If you've been looking to refresh your singing in a fun, focused timeframe, I'd highly recommend SPARK. Tons of resources and community connection, for less than the cost of a voice lesson! Check it out in the link below:

Sign me up! Let’s light your fire and keep it burning There’s nothing more frustrating than when you genuinely want to work on your singing, but something always puts the fire out…You sing the songs you love, but your voice tires quickly. You find lots of advice on Youtube, but you aren’t ge...

If you would have told me in January 2020 that I would be here now, I would have been SHOOK 😂 My own journey with singing has been a winding one, and to find myself now as a singing teacher/coach for 3 years straight is amazing.

I have a lot of wonderful people in my life who have made it possible for me to pursue this—family, friends and colleagues who have believed in me, invested in my education, trusted me to teach someone they know and love, created space for my skill set, and so much more. I have a long way to go to become the kind of singer and voice educator I hope to be, but I’m incredibly proud and grateful for how far I’ve come and that I’ve never done it alone. 💕

To any aspiring voice teachers out there—begin with the deep love you have for what you know. You’ll never know enough, but what you do know is almost always enough to start. You’ll learn along the way and it never stops. And it’s a whole lot of fun inspiring others to be their most honest and fullest selves through the outlet of their voice!

Here’s to a lot more learning and a lot more singing! 🥂

If you’re gonna share a birthday, share it with your mom! I love being birthday groundhogs with this lady—she has taught me how to pursue love of the highest kind, to find joy in the present, to keep my heart open, and how to spark my love for music and singing—and countless other things that have helped make me who I am today!

Thank you for spending your birthday in the hospital 32 years ago, 💕 I love you! 😘 Happy Birthday to us! 🎂

When I sit down to book my voice lessons for the month I get a humbling little notice from my calendar that lists the number of appointments I have coming up. How high or low the number is doesn’t really matter. But putting a number on the voice lessons I teach in a month somehow helps me get a perspective on the number of opportunities I have as a teacher…

In February, I have 52 opportunities.

52 opportunities to share with someone else in a moment of self-discovery.

52 opportunities to share in someone’s growth and to grow myself as an educator.

52 opportunities to witness and uphold someone’s journey of expression, and to be challenged in how true I am to my own.

There are countless other opportunities amidst these 52 moments I get in a month. As a teacher (especially a singing teacher), it can be easy to find yourself awash in the flow of lessons, just trying to keep up with who is singing what, what each person is dealing with or working on, and how you keep your energy up to best meet each person where they are at. Today, looking at the number 52 reminded me yet again what a privilege it is that I get to do what I do and have so many opportunities to do it.

To my fellow teachers out there, I believe in you and the opportunities you will step into this coming month! May you be refreshed as to the goodness you bring to the lives of others and excited at what discovery, growth, and expression awaits you and the singers who cross your path 💕🙏🏼

Huzzah for a new year! I love getting to refresh my schedule, buy a new planner, and make room for the good stuff this year will bring ✨ And speaking of good stuff…

I’ve got a NEW in-person location to teach from this year! 🙌🏻😍

In addition to teaching online via Zoom and at my local high school, I am thrilled to be partnering with in Dripping Springs to teach in their lovely new facilities! This new space is offering both private lessons and group classes—if you live in Drip/South Austin and are looking for a great creative community outlet for yourself or your kids, this is the place!

Check out the link in my bio for more info 👍🏼

I will never forget this November ❤️ Getting married, celebrating with my singing students, going on honeymoon, coming home to spend Thanksgiving with family. My heart is full to a level I can’t quite describe. Maybe my face in the first photo covers it?

These are a few random photos surrounding our wedding day. I’ll get back to posting about singing, but these memories are giving me things to sing about so that’s the next best thing 😊
