This Canadian with Greek, Irish, Flemish and French roots is a talent like no other. After winning the only performance music scholarship at her University, she began studying Italian arias, German lieder and French art songs but found that her strength was way in the rafters with high soprano coloratura arias. Being keenly interested in telling a story, she soon found a strong interest in musical theatre and decided to switch into Canada's(at that time) only University degree program for musical theatre. After 4 years, she was 1 of only 5 females to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. Soon thereafter, she performed in numeorus musical productions around Canada and with a number of Symphonies. Next, she began connecting with her Irish roots, when she became a singer with the Broadway and North American touring companies of Riverdance.
