Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah

I am the youngest of five children born to a Brazilian-American family. Music and dance were (and still are) family values: my father is an avid classical pianist (though he doesn’t think so) and opera fanatic, and my mother was a ballet dancer and directed her own ballet program in our home. I married my wonderful husband in 2004. We live in Spanish Fork with our children--one of which is a Singers Company girl.

I love, love, love music! Singing is my greatest artistic passion with piano/organ and dance tying for second place. Other life essentials include family time, playing with dogs, exercising, time in nature, reading, baking, and a good laugh. I enjoy creative things generally and will sometimes pull an all-nighter if I catch a vision. 

Aside from being a wife and mother, my GREATEST interest is Singers Company and all of the special relationships fostered there. These girls are TRULY dear to my heart, and they enrich my life tremendously. Part of my life’s work is to contribute to their precious lives in any way that I can.

MY MOTTO for EVERY Singers Company girl is this:

“Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those who sang best.” (Henry Van Dyke)

My goal is to get every “little bird” to share her voice, because her voice matters!
