I graduated from Rollins college with a degree in liberal arts. There I majored in music and theater with a concentration in performing. Here I learned vocal anatomy, vocal use and voice acting techniques. Since graduating I have collected eight years of teaching experience. This has ranged from individual lessons to large classes.
