In addition to her primary responsibilities, she is also in charge of developing and maintaining company web pages and social media.  She currently serves as Vice President for the Board of Trustees at Georgia Ensemble Theatre, and is on the board of the Roswell Arts Fund.

The best part of being an opera singer is traveling – I’ve sung in Italy, France, England, Wales, Israel, Aspen, Savannah, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco to name a few! However, Dorothy said it best – “there’s no place like home”.

I am no longer a puppy, but a massive full-grown German Shepherd. But I like that photo, so i’ll let it slide. Oh, I also like tennis balls, so throw one with me please?
