A holder of many titles: Historian, performance artist, musician, storyteller, educator, mother, adventurer, arts advocate

Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States I have a deep-seated passion for the arts, nature, science and technology. Bridging the three through innovation and collaboration is something I aim to do in all my work. I use my creativity and tenacity to cultivate interdisciplinary collaboration to realize a brighter, more sustainable future for all life.

For almost 20 years, I have been a leading soloist in opera houses around the globe and am known as a dynamic interpreter of a wide range of dramatic and vocal styles. With a passion for exploring and producing narratives of underrepresented communities, I have just taken a year away from the stage to study Arts and Cultural Management at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya as a vehicle to further my focus on scientific literacy, cultural diplomacy, and equity in arts leadership.
