I've been a member of Sweet Adelines International since 1991; for most of that time I've been a member of St. Louis Harmony Chorus. In St. Louis Harmony Chorus I've been a member the music team the management team, and many show committees. I served as an assistant director and was the producer for two of the chorus' CDs: Voices (1998) and Hooray for Hollywood (2003). I began arranging in 1998 after attending a seminar sponsored by the International Music Arrangers Program (IMAP) of Sweet Adelines, and continued my arranger training in the Region 5 Arrangers Program, taught by Paula Mauritzen. I am also a Certified Director in the Sweet Adelines Director Certification Program.
