Freelancer@Independent Contractor - Self Employed

I have a pretty diverse professional background. I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Voice Performance: Opera, from the University of Kentucky, and work fairly frequently in that sphere. I've also held jobs in retail management, accounting, logistics, commercial driving, food, music education, manufacturing, construction...you name it, and I've probably either done it as a job or have experience in doing it as a side gig.
Music and the arts are where my true expertise are, however. I've recently made my debut at Carnegie Hall, won multiple national opera competitions, and worked as an emerging artist with some of the most prestigious companies in America, including Wolf Trap Opera and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. I've been lucky to teach masterclasses, private voice lessons, language/diction coachings, and stagecraft at the high school and collegiate levels. On the stage, I've been able to perform leading roles from many of the most popular operas in the world, and have traveled much of the United States to perform in concerts and mainstage opera productions.More...
