Nina has been involved with Opera Fort Collins since 2017 when she sang in the opera chorus for “Don Giovanni” in 2019. Since graduating from CSU with a music degree in 2018, Nina has performed locally, opened up a teaching studio, and run translation supertitles for operas in Northern Colorado since 2023. She also helped open Arboretum Coffee, where she gained significant experience in business and nonprofit management. Now, in her role as Executive Director, she is excited to help shape the future of opera in Fort Collins!
Outside of work, Nina spends a lot of time outdoors in the beautiful Colorado wilderness, especially along the Poudre River. She loves the farmer's market, craft coffee, dancing, singing hymns, and gardening!
