I've been fortunate to work in Chicago for almost thirty years. Music Direction is my passion, but I love all things theatre. I have owned a Theatre Education company since 1998 and it has given me the flexibility to work on projects I love! Also, for the last five years, I have been the vocal coach for the Carthage College Master's Degree Program in Vocal Pedagogy for Music Theatre. That job has inspired to stay current on all MT rep, especially the little known shows. As a Contractor in Chicago, I have been challenged to learn who the up and coming musicians are in Chicago that will be the future of Music Theatre pit orchestras. I thrive on creating the most diverse and talented pit orchestras in Chicago.
