This summer I had the unforgettable opportunity to sing Donna Anna in Don Giovanni in Italy, and perform in multiple concerts. This experience has been transformative, allowing me not only to immerse myself in the language and culture, but also to work alongside some truly remarkable industry professionals.

I had the chance to refine my craft and language skills, learn from the best, and build invaluable connections that will undoubtedly shape my future career.

For those who are interested in supporting the arts, and my education as a young professional in the world of opera, I will be seeking support again for the summer of 2025, and your continued generosity will be crucial in helping me seize these next steps. Every bit of support makes a significant difference in my ability to advance my career and achieve my goals. This summer I have been afforded the incredible opportunity to travel to Mexico and Italy to perform opera with full orchestra, and work with incredible faculty!

The passing of my mother almost two years ago has been profoundly challenging for me and my family. On top of dealing with this immense loss, my father’s job loss has further strained our finances. Even with things slowly improving, I’ve been juggling multiple jobs to support my education, but despite these efforts, crucial educational and career opportunities remain financially out of reach.

While things are gradually improving, the void left by my mother’s passing and the additional financial strain make it difficult to afford essential programs like this one. Your support can been a vital lifeline, enabling me to seize opportunities that are crucial for my growth and success. I am deeply grateful for your generosity during this difficult time.

For many young singers, their professional career begins with young artist programs. This essential training opportunity is crucial for artistic development, marketable skills, cultural immersion, and professional networking, all of which are the basic building blocks for a successful career in opera. I have been offered the opportunity to sing opera once again, this summer in Europe, and to train with top professionals in language, role study, and vocal technique. This would be a life-changing and career propelling program that will afford me the opportunity to network and build connections with professionals in my field, as well as teach me the skills I need in order to succeed as an opera singer. I would greatly appreciate any donation, big or small, to help further my education and my career. Thank you!
