Singer, Voiceover Actor, and Dialect Coach. I am a full-time Communication Coach at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in their on-campus professional presentation studio, SCADamp. Additionally, I am a professional Singer, Voiceover Actor, and Dialect Coach with a BFA in Musical Theatre and an MFA in Voice Studies. I have taught voice and speech curriculum for various theaters and at ac
ademic institutions in the US, UK, Canada, Italy, and Egypt. Since 2018, I have been an active member of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA) and, since then, have served on the Junior Board, as an assistant archivist and website administrator, and as a Co-Chair for BizCore, VASTA's interest group focused on the business of freelance voice coaching and the coaching of executives. Most recently, I co-directed VASTA's 2-day virtual symposium in the summer of 2024, scheduling 48 hours of continuous academic content catering to participants across all time zones. Other contributions to VASTA have been in the 'Voice and Speech Review' (VSR), where I have published five articles, including collaborations, conference reflections, and book reviews. Most notably, my solo article, "Bridging the Gap between Voice Coaches and Sound Designers in the Theatre", adapted from my master's dissertation, won the Rocco Dal Vera Graduate Research Award in 2022. As a second generation Cuban American who spent my childhood living in the Middle East, I am committed to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in all aspects of my life and practice.
