The Heart of My Work

Every voice is a gift, and mine exists to guide others in discovering theirs. I believe the ability to speak and sing is a divine gift—an anchor that grounds us, while also holding the power to inspire, heal, and transform. The journey of self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-study reveals both strength and beauty within us.

Our natural, unique vocal imprint—our vibration—is an essential part of who we are. My purpose is to help others uncover their authentic voice, embracing the clarity, confidence, and connection it brings.

Passions

Beyond my work in voice and communication, I have a deep passion for languages and culture. I enjoy exploring global cuisine and staying committed to my language studies through Duolingo—where I’ve maintained a streak of over 2,400 days (and counting!). I use it to keep my French fluency sharp while also learning Arabic and Spanish. One of my favorite idioms in French is renvoyer l'ascenseur, which literally means "to send back the elevator." It’s a lovely way to express repaying a favor—similar to how in some European cities, when you get off the elevator, you might press the button to send it back to someone waiting on another floor. It’s a small act of kindness, and I love how it connects to both language and culture. My research projects have taken me to Lisbon and Porto, inspiring me to dive into beginning Portuguese as well.
