Our very own Jessica Doyle-Mekkes is making news!
“A native of Big Rapids, Michigan, Doyle-Mekkes grew up singing and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theater from Central Michigan University. She worked in Hawaii and South Korea, where she became interested in coaching voice and apprenticed with a voice coach in Los Angeles. She returned to Michigan to open her own voice studio and then got her Master of Music in opera/vocal performance from Central Michigan University.”
“This is my dream job,” said Doyle-Mekkes, whose parents are both college professors. “I love coaching voice. I love working with singers. I wanted to work at the collegiate level with pre-professional singers. I wanted the lifestyle of the school year, so it just made a lot of sense for us at the time.”
