My first passion is music. I have been a vocalist for 20 years, beginning in my home town of Evansville, Indiana, where I grew up the youngest of 9 children. I have worked with various theater and music groups in Tucson, Arizona, and New York City. I now resides in San Diego where she is a professional vocalist in several capacities. Operatically trained,
I recently recorded my first solo vocal jazz cd of some of my favorite songs from the
30's and 40's. You can hear sound bytes below or on
