What an adventure it has been the past 26 years! Went to UNL, graduated class of 1991 with BA in Music (voice/piano), and English. Worked for many years in corporate as a marketing director. Have been doing music continuously: Many different types of groups including O'Higgin, Red Soulstice, Fabulous Babes. More recently (last 10 years) with Opera Omaha, Omaha Symphonic Chorus, Omaha Symphony, Christmas with the Symphony, Musica Sacra, Arts at the ARC. I now teach music fulltime in the schools, and have a couple of students in a private studio also. In grad school at Creighton, majoring in ESL and diversity in education.
Married the love of my life, Steve Torneten, in 2003. Steve left the Marine Corps after 8 yrs, then he enlisted in the Judi program. We are late bloomer parents, and our daughter Jolena was born in 2005. We love parenthood and all of its trappings!
My favorite activities are dancing to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy or Mama Mia soundtrack with my hubby and daughter in our living room, travelling with my family, or performing in an opera! My next dream is to get published, and learn cello!
