ABOUT ME
My story
Carrying an unyielding desire to sing and a profound love for music while wrestling with shyness can feel incredibly challenging. As a teenager who used to be introverted, I understand the longing for singing lessons.
At 16, when those lessons finally became a reality, they turned out to be more than just "singing lessons."
Despite not being born with a “God-given talent” or an "amazing voice," my dedication and love for singing, coupled with my teacher's unwavering patience and commitment, empowered me to develop a new found confidence and voice.
I so desperately wanted to be good at singing that I listened to what my teacher said and I became a classical singer. Yet, deep down, I knew that wasn't what I truly wanted. I longed to sing like my idols Mariah, Whitney, and others.
It took me over 25 years to give myself the permission to explore alternative genres.
​
Only then did I gain true agency and joy in my singing voice.
​
This journey led me to seek mentorship from top-level singing teachers and vocal coaches who specialize in various genres and musical fields.
​​
These experiences shape my purpose today: to help people like you.
​
My mission is to help people gain control over their voice and blossom into the singers they've always dreamed of being.

These experiences shape my purpose today: to help people like you.

Let me share more:
I was born in Portugal and have lived in Austria, Russia, Ireland, and the UK. These diverse cultures and languages combine to form a multifaceted perspective that underpins my teaching ethos.
