NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.

I would like to thank my family
for always supporting me through thick and thin.
Thank you so much to my parents for going above and beyond to help me reach my goals.
I thank God everyday for blessing me with both of you as parents.
Of course, a special thanks to my teacher, Ms. MaryAnn McCormick,
for introducing me to this wonderful technique that has truly transformed my voice.
I truly appreciate the praise you gave me when things were going well
as well as the tough love when things were not.
You have helped me grow in my musicianship,
and I am truly blessed to have been able to study with you during my undergrad.
Many thanks to my coach and collaborator, Dr. Chelsea Whitaker,
for giving me very valuable input during our coachings
and for having taught me “tricks” that have helped me become a better musician.
Thank you so much to all of my friends
that have come to support me tonight.
I truly love and appreciate each and every one of you.
