Conducting/Teaching

  

Along with being the music and founding artistic director of Vox Caelestis, a professional women's chorus, I have coached and conducted all levels of other choirs in rehearsal and performance. As part of my work with Vox Caelestis, I initiated and helped launch a successful annual scholarship program to benefit high school senior women pursuing music degrees in college. I have also taught vocal jazz at Lyons Township High School in LaGrange, IL, as well as led classes in choral writing at Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University.
