Ms. Marsh has established a distinguished career as an international performer, educator, producer, mentor, author and advocate for creativity and vocal performance artistry. Since 2013, she has been seen to serve as an adjunct professor at Hunter College in New York, where she occasionally lectures, teaches Master Classes and mentors aspiring vocalists. Her commitment to education extends to her ongoing involvement with the JASA NextAct Opera Course and Master Class series, which garnered much attention at John Jay College during the Metropolitan Opera seasons since 2012, and is now relocated to Marymount Manhattan College. She imparts her expertise to students and public seeking advanced knowledge in opera literature and tips on operatic presentation and training. To that, as of 2023, JASA NextAct offers a yearly showcase series at New York's Temple Emanuel, where Ms. Marsh is Mistress of Ceremonies to an event performance with professional singers.

Since 2011, Ms. Marsh has continued to play a pivotal role as Mistress of Ceremonies and Lecturer for singer presentations of, among others, Wagner's Ring, Parsifal, and Lohengrin, the Bel Canto Style, Verdi and Puccini Voices, and Russian Operas and Divas, at Metropolitan Opera and Metropolitan Opera Guild membership lecture-singer events at Lincoln Center.

Her association with the City University of New York Graduate Center began in 2011, where she has contributed as a recitalist in the event, "Opera Composers' Songs" and programmed recitals on the theme of "Advent and Christmas." Additionally, she has conducted Master Classes and taught professional language and technical pedagogy to professional students, furthering the development of their emerging talent.

As of 2008, Ms. Marsh served as Artistic Adviser and Program Consultant for the Metropolitan Opera Guild at Lincoln Center. In this capacity, she shaped educational initiatives and consulted on programming that bridges the gap between performers and audiences. Her influence is evident through her co-creation of the "Masterly Singing Series," at the Metropolitan Opera Guild as of 2007, where she initiated workshops, lectures and panel discussions on Russian, Bel Canto, Classical, Romantic, Wagnerian, Handel, Strauss, Verismo and song repertoire, always integrating the attitude and tools of "building a career house."

Ms. Marsh's dedication to vocal pedagogy has been reflected in her role as Lecturer at the San Francisco State University, where she contributed to the vocal forum and pedagogy curriculum as of 1994. In 2014, she was again recognized as a prominent Soprano and Master Teacher at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Her expertise as a Spinto Dramatic Soprano, Lecturer, Master Class facilitator and coordinator is widely acknowledged within the industry. She is also strongly celebrated for her work as the Artistic and Program Consultant for the Metropolitan Opera Guild, where Ms. Marsh's insights have been, among others, featured on the Met Opera Guild Podcast, Episode number forty-seven, as well as several Met Opera Guild Zoom Lectures and Courses.

A defining moment in Ms. Marsh's career occurred when President Lyndon Johnson recognized her talents, preceding the International Tchaikovsky Competition, and invited her to perform at the White House after her historic Gold Medal win in this legendary competition. This marked the beginning of her renowned and extensive international performing career, and made prominent global history as the first singer to win the Gold Medal in Voice at Moscow's International Tchaikovsky Competition. The gates to repertoire encompassing signature heroines from Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov opened, as well as those of the Verdi, Strauss, Handel and Bel Canto traditions, which Ms. Marsh has performed in most all of the major international ports of performance.

Ms. Marsh's academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio. This rigorous training provided her with the technical mastery and interpretive depth that have defined her performances on major opera stages worldwide.
Throughout her career, Ms. Marsh has received numerous accolades recognizing her contributions to music and culture. These honors include the Gold Medal in Voice from the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia, inclusion in International Who's Who in Classical Music, Mademoiselle Magazine Woman of the Year and National 4-H Merit Award in Horsemanship from the National 4-H Club of America. She received the New York Handel Medaille, celebrated for outstanding contribution to the world of music and performance, which was awarded by the Mayor and City of New York, the Presidential Honor Award of Distinction from the White House, the Time Life Achievement Award, and an Achievement Award from U.S. News and World Report. Ms. Marsh holds the keys to New York City and the City of San Francisco, awarded by the Mayor of each city and validated by Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

Her creative output includes notable projects, including "Gifts," a collection of Advent and Christmas recital songs available on iTunes, "Spirit Be Joyful," an Advent and Christmas recital anthology published by Oxford University Press UK, and "Treasures," featuring Schubert, Wolf and Goethe's worldly recital songs on iTunes. Ms. Marsh is also heard and seen on numerous historical recordings of television broadcasts, the likes of Hollywood Palace, Red Skelton Show, Bell Telephone Hour, Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Art Buchwald Talk Show-a medium Ms. Marsh particularly esteems-, some of which have been transferred to video and CD.

Ms. Marsh's passion for quality global performance experiences has inspired her to develop universal educational programs and attitudes that cater to both performers and audiences. She believes deeply in nurturing focused and prepared performers who connect with their creative power while cultivating audiences whose appreciation enhances public engagement with opera. She first introduced "super titles" into the recital hall, lifting the language barrier, and thus widening programming prospects and audience interest.

Through her multifaceted career as a performer, educator, adviser producer and author, Ms. Marsh continues to shape the future of vocal artistry and communication on an international scale. Plans are afoot for an upcoming "Opera Characters Cookbook" and a personal Autobiography.
