Welcome to my website!
This site exists in order to share information and knowledge
about my life "professions"--vocal music, Russian diction, and personal fitness. Here you can view photos of my
students and me, discover my favorite books and music and buy them online, and find links to other resources that I have
found valuable in all these arenas.
I am a professional mezzo-soprano, and currently an Associate Professor of
Vocal Music at Shorter University in Rome, Georgia, where I am in my seventh year of teaching applied studio
voice, vocal pedagogy, Russian diction, and class voice.
In addition, I am a Personal Trainer certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE). I believe that people
of any age and physical background can be "fit" in every sense of the word. I am especially dedicated to working
with those 50+ who do not have any expertise in following a work-out regime. I am qualified to teach Zumba and Zumba GOLD (for deconditioned adults) and have taught the Latin-dance inspired exercise classes for nearly a year now at Rome Athletic
Club and at Shorter.
Lastly, I have been
blessed to have recorded a CD of Russian art song for Centaur Records (Russia: Golden Century of Song) which came about in 2001 as a result of my decade-long work with pianist Svetlana Velichko, formerly of the Moscow
Conservatory. This collaboration led to my deep love for the Russian language and its song literature, and was the subject
of my doctoral treatise.
