About Me

I have recently retired from teaching and am now free to pursue interests for which I did not have time previously. I really enjoy voice and performance work and would welcome the opportunity to build up a performance profile. I have had excellent reviews for any voice and performance work that I have done. I am a confident, articulate person looking forward to exploiting my new-found freedom.
