Having always been involved with music, Stella's passion quickly led her to teaching, giving her decades of experience in music education, singing, and choral performance. Her longest tenure is with Crystal Children's Choir, and she has conducted various levels from Preparatory to Concert Choir (K-12). She has led choirs and received prestigious music festival awards around the US, and globally, she has had the opportunity to bring and conduct choirs to Canada, Taiwan, and Austria. Beyond these two decades of experience, Stella is part of FCSN and a music teacher at the Community School of Music and Art, holding a Music for Minors certificate.
