Having always been dedicated to exploring and learning from a variety of forms, she studied music and art history in college and began her career in the arts as a classical trumpeter. She is a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Music in Evanston, IL. A nomad and wanderer at heart, she is thrilled to be joining Juventas in Rumelia for their 2012 Opera Project.
