While singing is my primary passion, I have been leaning further and further into the production aspects of opera in recent years. In my four years at the University of Cincinnati, I had the pleasure and honor of working with Susan Moser, our choreographer and intimacy director. From her, I learned the foundations of building a safe, consent-forward environment for staging an opera, which I have continued to refine. I have had the incredible opportunity to repeatedly work alongside the prolific stage director David Lefkowich, serving as his assistant director and intimacy director on Massenet's Cendrillon, the intimacy director in Handel’s Semele (both at McGill University), as well as the assistant director for his Suor Angelica at Out of The Box Opera in Minneapolis. I intend to pursue further direction opportunities, and will continue advocating for physical and emotional safety of stage performers.
