"Growing up in Minnedosa, Manitoba I was immersed in music, both at home and in the United Church.  I first sang in the Junior Choir comprised of 60 members ranging from grades 6 - 12. We performed an anthem in Sunday school every week and in church once in a while.  We also travelled for festivals and put on a concert each year.  I began accompanying the group in Grade 9 and went on into the Senior Choir later in high school.  I was the pianist for many cantatas and concerts during those years and it set the stage for a career in music. 

With a Music Education degree and a year of teaching under my belt, I was married and moved to Killarney.  After many years raising a family and teaching, the opportunity to take over leadership of the Killarney United Church choir presented itself' in the fall of 2012. I am very fortunate to have 25 singers in the choir as well as some wonderful instrumentalists.  We are able to provide a variety of music for Worship services."
