Welcome! I'm Lizzy.
I've had a cool journey thus far in life. After growing up as the second youngest of 12 children, I was fortunate to be the recipient of the McCabe Leadership Scholarship at Swarthmore College, embarking on my journey as a proud FLI (first-generation, low-income) student. I majored in neuroscience and took regular voice lessons for the first time in my life. By the end of my senior year, it became clear that I was far better suited to be making art with others than microdissecting fruit flies.
But most importantly, I wanted to help others find their most true and healthy voices, which drew me to a multifaceted career as a performer and voice teacher. Carrying my understanding of neuroscience and cognition along with me each step of the way, I went on to pursue my master's in Vocal Pedagogy and Classical Performance from New England Conservatory. After teaching and performing in the Boston area for several years, I was fortunate to be accepted into NYU's first-ever Doctorate in Musical Theater Voice. I'm nearing the end of my coursework and entering the final capstone stage of my doctorate.
I have performed in musicals, operas, concert work, and chamber works. My recent credits include Nancy Drew (Samantha Blodgett), Messiah (soprano soloist) , Monkey: a Puppet Parable Opera (Mother to Born in Prayer), Spring Awakening (Thea), The Sound of Music (Sister Berta), Into the Woods (Rapunzel), and Down in the Valley (Jennie). The most fulfilling artistic work I have done has been helping bring new works to the stage.
