Meet the Choir

“My husband and I have been married for 27 years. We have 5 children and 1 son-in-law. I have sung all of my life with my family and in choirs.

Jill has been a member of CASN since 2018. “Choral Artists is my seventh post-high–school choir, and I’ve loved making beautiful choral music my whole life. My husband and I have 4 sons and 2 grandsons. I am drawn to people and service events that make this world a more glorious place, so I simply love spending time at the food bank, temple, and setting up fun times with family and friends. People and projects are all generally special to me, but Choral Artists is where my favorite time is spent because of the friendships, unity, and focus on vocal mastery.”

“I was born and raised in Charleston, SC. I am the proud “mama-bear” teacher to over 200 students and favorite aunt to five perfect nephews. I fell in love with music at an early age. I grew up playing the piano, violin and cello, and discovered my passion for singing in college. During that time, I toured with choirs around the United States and Africa. After relocating to Las Vegas, I found Choral Artists of Southern Nevada, a musical opportunity I never thought I would have again in my lifetime. When I am not preparing, practicing, or performing music, I love to cook, read, listen to a myriad of podcasts, and spend time with friends and family. How grateful I am to be a member of this choir, for the continuous peace and positivity it brings me to sing with people I love, and for the calling to be a proponent of beautiful music in all areas of my life.” Jaime has been a member of CASN since 2015.

“I am an educator by profession. I possess a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. I’ve been with Clark County School District for 16 years. My first love after my family is helping students discover the world around them. After that, I love to sing and play music. I have taken organ lessons to perfect my craft in that area. I currently serve as a church organist and have for many years. I love accompanying the choir on the organ and playing music that evokes emotion and excitement. Experiencing music is an absolute joy in life. I love being part of something that is bigger than me. I have developed musical skills that I would not have been able to develop otherwise. It is a thrill to be a part of the group that never stops growing.” Chad has been a member of CASN since 2019.
