Tenor I

Hello friends and new members! I am excited to be returning for another season with North River Sing as one of the fierce Female Tenors. My premiere season (Spring of 2024) was quite a whirlwind, and since then I have become a part of the grassroots Jersey City Cabaret Project (started by our own Hannah Lee!), joined fellow Tenor Ido’s NRS band, and have sung alongside the NJ Symphony Orchestra at NJPAC! I joined North River Sing 3 years after moving to Jersey City, and it not only re-ignited my passion for performing and group singing, but it has also provided me with a community of inspiring and supportive individuals that I am proud to call friends and fellow performers. 
 
My passion for music was fostered early on in life growing up at the Jersey Shore. I would sing incessantly as a child, serenading my family and duetting with my dad in his truck on the way to school in the mornings. I began singing in school choruses in first grade (continuing throughout high school) and learned to play the drums, as any budding rockstar is inclined to do. Famously horrendous at mathematics, my mom would always say, “you know every song lyric but can’t memorize your times tables”…she was not wrong. In college, I took a hiatus from musical performance (mostly only attending bar karaoke) and focused more on bringing music to the masses, majoring in Radio/TV Communication and becoming an on-air DJ and the Station Manager of our campus radio station, WMCX. Post-grad, I began working at record labels and have been a member of the corporate Music Industry for the last 13+ years. I currently work at Warner Music Group where I am in charge of new release metadata delivery and management.
 
Other fun facts: I am a former ski racer and have been a PSIA certified ski instructor since I was 14; I am an aspiring interior muralist; I am a freelance voice-over artist; I am a weekly volunteer at The Hoboken Shelter where I help prepare  and serve unhoused, food-insecure, and working poor community members a hot meal.
