A lyric soprano, Heather has performed with the St. Louis Opera Theatre, Opera East, Boulder Festival, Calgary Opera, the Calgary Philharmonic, Banff Festival, Folks Opera, Storybook theatre, on the Stampede Stage and with the Calgary Theatre Singers. She has appeared in recital across Canada and the United States.

Heather is dedicated to helping singers of all ages and levels achieve their goals by demystifying the act of singing. Outside the studio, you’ll find her teaching karate, spending time with her family and paddle surfing.
After an informative and enriching afternoon masterclass, Heather collaborated with these wonderful students to perform a dazzling evening concert of musical theatre, opera and operetta.
The equally talented Ron Bennie provided accompaniment for Heather and her voice students.
