Ms. Masters was born and raised in Fairlawn, Ohio and received her Bachelor of Music degree from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Ms. Masters appeared as a soloist in Vivalidi's Gloria, Stravinsky's Le Rossignol, Four Russian Peasant Songs, and as the Trainbearer in Elektra with the Cleveland Orchestra. Recent engagements include covering the roles of Pisana in I Due Foscari and Ännchen in Der Freischütz for Opera Orchestra of New York. Ms. Masters won an Encouragement Award in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.

Her roles with IU Opera Theatre include Gilda in Rigoletto, Gretel in Hansel and Gretel, Madame Pompous in Too Many Sopranos, and Mercedes in Carmen. The Cleveland Plain Dealer called Ms. Masters, "...as feisty and endearing a Susanna [Le Nozze di Figaro] as you're likely to find on any collegiate stage, not to mention more than a few professional ones."
