Beginning at age 14, Renee began a 5-year stint performing professionally with a pop band at venues throughout Southern California. This onstage work led to roles in musical theater including favorites "Molly" Unsinkable Molly Brown, and "Mrs. Paroo" The Music Man. After graduation from Cal State Fullerton, she coached frequently with JoLane Jolley. Always seeking to improve her skills, Renee sought additional training in Choral Conducting and Vocal Technique. With a lifetime love of the choral arts, Renee has sung in choirs under the baton of John Alexander, Lex de Azevedo, Craig Jessop, JoLane Jolley, Brandon and Brett Stewart. Highlights include recorded performances in Jerusalem (at David’s Wall), Texas (Meyerson Hall, ACDA Conference), Maryland (Music Center at Strathmore), Utah (Tabernacle at Temple Square), and in Southern California (Renee and Henry Segerstrom Hall, the Crystal Cathedral, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim).
