Kia ora! I’m an alto/mezzo soprano from Wellington. I moved to Auckland in 2020 for my Honours study in Classical Performance Voice at the University of Auckland. Singing in choirs is a huge part of my life. I was in NZSSC for two cycles and recently became a member of Voices NZ. I love singing jazz and have done a range of gigs in Wellington. Inner city pressure can be demanding, and my family and I frequently escape to the Remutaka Forest Park to go tramping and enjoy New Zealand’s beautiful native bush.
