I was born and raised in New Haven, CT.  Graduated from St. Martin de Porres and James Hillhouse HS. My earliest memories of singing in front of people was at St. Luke's Church with my best friend in the junior choir. I have always loved to sing and dance, which I did in my youth here. After graduating from Boston University with a Computer Science degree, I dabbled in acting.  Snagged a couple of extra spots on the “Spenser for Hire,'' set in the ‘80’s. I returned to CT after my sister’s death in 1989.  Re-established roots, started a family, and eventually returned to singing and dancing(liturgical) in church.  Today, my focus is singing contemporary gospel and praise songs but I still love traditional hymns.
