About Me

 

 

 

                                                       Katie is a firm believer in art of every kind, and she is passionate about making                                                                 ideas into a reality in all creative forms. When she was a young musician, a strong woman once advised her to "Go Forth and Make Great Art", and since hearing those words, she's never stopped. 

 

Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Katie has made her way to Baltimore with the hopes to build her career in the opera community and the visual design world. She has a plethora of experience in designing all types of content whether graphic design or photography. During her undergrad career, Katie produced graphic and photo content for the on-campus magazine, The Edge, created commercially viable logos and branding for local musicians, as well as led the graphic initiative for the now annual “Leading Women in Audio Conference” at the university. Katie has regularly pushed her creative boundaries with the help of her peers, mentors, and professors at Elon University where she is earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Design. 

 

Additionally, she has experience performing in various settings as well and in languages such as English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Russian, and Hebrew. While in college, Katie portrayed roles such as Suor Angelica in Puccini’s Suor Angelica as well as Königin der Nacht in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte in the operatic scenes program. She also competed in the NATS competition and qualified for the regional competition. With the support of Elon University’s Music Department, Katie successfully built her foundation in classical music. While earning her Bachelor of Science in Music Production & Recording Arts she also learned how to produce, orchestrate, and arrange commercially viable music.

Currently, Katie is pursuing her Master’s of Music in Vocal Performance at Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute where she feels extraordinarily lucky to train in the vocal studio of Carl DuPont. Also, during the Fall 2020 semester, she is portraying the role of Despina in Mozart’s Cosí Fan Tutte with the Peabody Opera. Katie looks forward to broadening her technique and continue to flourish in the next steps of her singing career. She is fortunate to be able to learn and grow with her peers at Peabody who constantly push her to be the best musician she can be.
