MEET YOUR TEACHER
A brief introduction
I was raised on the south side of Chicago, where I started my journey into music and theater. I earned my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and studied with Professor Jerold Siena. Today, I sing with the Consonance (Chicago Choral Artists), Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, and a few church choirs. I take a couple of courses with Second City and also work with multiple high school Theater Departments teaching students creative writing, acting, public speaking, and expository & persuasive writing.
