For the last 15 years I was a professional opera singer. I had a successful career performing all over the country with top opera companies. However, after experiencing on of my greatest performing and monetary seasons, I found that at the age of 54, the opportunities had shifted, and I needed to decide how to move forward. After considering a host of options I found myself applying for jobs in and out of the arts, while also deepening my understanding what type of work felt best suited to me. Throughout the process there have been triumphs, struggles, and a host of questions about how to leverage my skills within the current job market. With the support and advice of my partner, friends, and family, I found work that aligns with my values, skills, and offers me an opportunity to grow professionally and personally.
