As a singing artist, she has performed around the world from Australia to Iceland, in genres ranging from opera to cabaret. Equally at home in the emerging field of voice science, she earned the certificate in vocology from the National Center for Voice and Speech, and was awarded the Van Lawrence Fellowship from the National Voice Foundation and the National Association of Teachers of Singing to study neurological voice disorders and rehabilitative therapies. She is an author and associate editor of the Journal of Singing, where her regular column, “Mindful Voice” illuminates current research in the cognitive, neuro- and social sciences as they relate to music teaching, learning and performance.
