Milena Thomas, founder of The Voice Works Studio, LLC is professional vocalist, voice teacher, and artist business coach. Milena performs regularly throughout the Metro Detroit area with her husband Michael in their duet, En Passant and in various choral and solo opportunities.

Milena earned her undergraduate degree in Voice Performance and Comparative Literature from the University of Michigan. Upon graduation she entered the corporate world, working at Merrill Lynch for 4 years as a Registered Representative, managing portfolios, client relationships, and marketing for a team of financial advisors. She is currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Finance at Walsh College.

Her diverse, and seemingly unrelated, backgrounds have led her to focus her career efforts primarily as a teacher and business coach. She blends her disciplines in the arts and business to help students and professionals in artistic fields achieve their creative and financial goals.

Her blog, Quiet the Thunder, began as an expression of grief following her father's death. Since then it has grown to include a variety of the things she is passionate about: her marriage, politics and economics, things that creep her out, and her dog. If you are reading this because she has roused your anger, try reading this FAQ, or her blogger's manifesto and see if that alleviates some of your irritation.
