recently ended in 2015. I am now working on my classical repertoire again and planning a future recital and belong to a classical performing group here on long Island.

I also became a certified public school teacher later in my career and taught chorus/general music full-time for a few years. I am now a retired member of the system but still work as a district wide sub in HHH district! Besides a career, I raised a daughter and now am a grandmother of a beautiful 4 year old granddaughter and a newborn grandson! I have much to be thankful for.
