I've lived in Portland for 25 years and it truly feels like home. We moved here when I went to work at Intel, intending to stay for a few years, and we fell in love with the city and the area.

I grew up loving music, playing and listening, but not singing. I have a deep love of vocal harmony and the power of voices coming together. So two years ago, I joined Aurora Chorus. I am so grateful to be part of a community and have the opportunity to be a part of voices being raised together.

Besides singing, I love hiking, reading, hanging out with birds in my backyard, going to the beach and watching storms and volunteering with a number of organizations.
