Carmen has loved CYT ever since her daughter first auditioned 15 years ago. She has seen all six of her kids involved in some way or another. Carmen’s mom was a professionally trained singer, which inspired Carmen, as a young girl, to join an all-sibling group that toured around singing at local events. Carmen continued to be involved in singing in various college, community, and church choirs. As a young mother, she taught and directed a children’s dancing, singing, and performing group in Fort Collins Colorado. Teaching voice has been a great opportunity to share her love of music and her love for Jesus Christ.
