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 Doctorate in Musical Theater Voice--the first program of it's kind. I am a doctoral candidate and entering the final capstone stage of my degree. I am now also adjunct faculty at both NYU and Swarthmore College.
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). I am a staff singer at Saint Thomas More in the UES. I perform regularly in NYC in venues such as Don't Tell Mama and 54 Below. This coming summer, I will be a performing artist at Quisisana Resort, performing the role of Signora Nicarelli in Light in the Piazza and joining weekly concert performances. In my free time, I sing and play guitar in Mariachi Violeta's ensemble at NYU.
