While I wait for my new look to debut, I thought I should update this page with some important links related to my recent work. I am pleased to announce that I continue my Speech pathology work at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TRI), University Health Network in the Swallowing Rehabilitation Research lab, under the auspices of Dr. Catriona Steele. I can also be found working clinically at TRI inpatient satellite locations. Additionally, as of Sept 9th, I officially joined the choir and soloists of Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto.

 Well quite a lot has changed since I last updated this page in 2019. A global pandemic fell upon us. The professional choir of the Cathedral Church of St. James dissolved in its wake. I completed a masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology (S-LP), a project several years in the making, and launched myself into a new profession. To that end, I'll be embarking on a website redesign to better reflect both  my professional interests: S-LP and music. In the coming months, keep your eyes on the site for more updates.

On Sunday June 30th, at 4:00 pm I'll be singing in a choral concert with the Professional Choir of St. James Cathedral. The concert will be taking place at St. Andrew's by-the-Lake church. If you're planning a staycation for the long weekend, you're more than welcome to drop by the island!  We'll be singing pieces by Durufle, Bruckner, Standford, Byrd, Clemens non Papa and more!  Don't know what would be in store for you?

For anyone not familiar with Sir Charles Hubert Parry's Songs of Farewell (and for those already familiar), this is a must see event. This 25 minute setting will be performed in lieu of the regular Evensong at St. James' Cathedral this coming Sunday, November 12th.  For those who need proof in the pudding, click here for a sample of what's in store for you. Come hear me sing everything from a low F to a high F!
