I have been singing since before I could form words. After years of private concerts in my backyard for squirrels and friends, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theatre Performance from Roosevelt University in Chicago. During this time, I actively performed with professional and community theatre companies. Upon graduation, I was offered a contract in Victoria, BC to sing at the World Famous Buchart Gardens for three consecutive summers with a well known Celtic band, Kitangus. My stay in British Columbia kick started my teaching career as well as prompted songwriting and many other music projects. I have composed original music as well as performed on 5 CDs recorded, manufactured, and sold in Canada. Stateside, I have released 16 CDs: 9 solo albums, 7 albums with my Seattle based band SeaStar, and 1 Christmas Album with Egyptian drummer, George Sadak.SeaStar is my little band with Captain Chambers and Michael Falcone. We are also known as the Dublin Three. We have had a great time playing together at lots of venues around the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Europe! My studio, called Syren's Voice, is an online studio with global reach. I teach voice, guitar, bodhran, penny whistle, and offer songwriting and acting coaching. I absolutely love my job and my students. They teach me so much about life!When I am not teaching or performing in the Pacific Northwest, Canada, or abroad, I am a wife, a photographer, a painter and a graphic designer. My life has been a lucky one with wonderful people, love, travel, musical friends, and adventure. I am thankful for it everyday.Specialties: I listen.I create from the energy of people's enthusiasm or lack of it. I believe we can change the world by making it a gentler place by placing the human in humanity in focus.I love life and people. i work hard at helping other achieve their goals. forever a cheerleader, I make sure that artists remember that art isn't a hobby, it's who they are.
