Katrina's diverse experience in the operatic landscape both on and off the stage enables her to speak to a wide variety of topics in an informed, holistic way. Utilizing her experience working with ADA Artist Management and UIA Talent Agency, she is frequently sought after to address young professionals on the process of seeking management, knowing when to partner with a manager or agent, how to market yourself, and deciding what kind of partnership is right for you. With her performance experience and now sitting on on the other side of the table with Opera Omaha, she also speaks regularly regarding audition etiquette and tips and tricks to stand out from the crowd. Finally, as a producer with ePOP, she is an excellent resource for those artists and administrators who are interested in starting their own organizations or producing their own shows.
