Her 2022 performance highlights include Mozart’s Requiem (Memphis Symphony Orchestra and Rhodes College), Beethoven’s 9th Symphony (New West Symphony), Dorabella in Così fan tutte (Opera Memphis) and traveling to Prague, Czech Republic, as a participant in Opernfest Prague, where she sang with Prague’s National Theatre Orchestra. Her operatic roles span all musical eras and include Laurene Powell Jobs (The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Lazuli (L'Étoile), Angelina (La Cenerentola), Bertarido (Rodelinda), Paula (Florencia en el Amazonas), Jade Boucher (Dead Man Walking), and Kate Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly). She is an avid supporter of newly-composed music and has sung in premieres and workshops by Grammy Award-winning composers Terence Blanchard and Tobias Picker, Robert Patterson, Shulamit Ran, and Matthew Recio.
She was a Gerdine Young Artist at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis for the 2017 & 2018 season. Select awards include National Opera Association’s Carolyn Bailey and Dominick Argento Vocal Competition (Artistic Division - Winner), Houston Saengerbund Competition (3rd Place), and MONC Auditions (now Laffont Competition- District Winner).

She worked as an Applied Faculty member at Rhodes College from 2021-2023, where she taught voice, music theory, and opera. In 2022, she was also chosen as one of twelve young teachers from across the United States to participate in the National Association of Teachers of Singing Intern Program.
