Interests and Hobbies Other Than ADC: Going to see live entertainment including Broadway musicals, plays, concerts, magicians and comedians; going to the Dallas Arboretum; watching documentaries; listening to podcasts; anything True Crime; British Royal family history; landscaping and decorating my house; playing with my dogs; hanging out with my family; traveling near and far.
Why I Sing With ADC: I’ve sung with many school choirs, church choirs, and community choruses. But, I sing with the ADC to be challenged as a musician, not only by the repertoire that we perform together but by the rigor and artistry that is expected of me individually. The music that we create as an ensemble restores my soul and renews my spirit. I come home from rehearsals a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, co-worker, and friend.
