I’ve always loved singing. Since I was a little kid. And all through school, I sang in choruses, chorales and choirs. I’m a pretty good singer, I guess, in that I can basically carry a tune and have a fairly nice alto tone. But, mirroring my personality, I’m also pretty shy about it.

Kellie is one of my favorite all-time coworkers. She ALWAYS does what she says she'll do, when she says she'll do it, and does it SO WELL.
