As an opera singer, Jennifer has been described by critics as “having vocal power, and something to spare,” her performances as “affecting and eloquent,” and “she is proof that it is not only important to have a powerful voice in the opera, but that it is also needed to have a good amount of acting talent.” Jennifer has the unique ability to sing a variety of roles and embody many diverse characters.

Jennifer enjoys teaching healthy technique to a full private studio of gifted singers in classical, musical theatre, and commercial genres. She has successfully costume designed shows ranging from Die Klüge to Trouble in Tahiti to The Tender Land. Some favorite opera directing credits include Gallantry and A Hand of Bridge.
