You made it this far, so you deserve some fun facts!

• I taught Zumba Fitness for five years as I was going through university

• My favourite piece of music to sing is Eric Whitacre's Goodnight Moon

• I love performing SO MUCH that I once did a show under an alias, because I wasn't permitted to do additional productions while in my opera performance class at Brandon University.

• The craziest decision I ever made was to quit my day job and buy a house... on the same day! This wild decision allowed me to build the voice studio I had always dreamed of.
