Relax. It’s going to be okay. You’re going to come out of this okay with a job that you like and a life that you’re happy with.
About Eliza
- When I was three or four years old, I told my family I wanted to take violin lessons so I could play on the street corner for money.
- I realized in high school that I wanted to go to college because I knew I’d need a degree to do the sort of work I wanted to.
- For ten years, I worked full time as an animal shelter supervisor and conducted choirs as well.
- After spending a decade working around 75 hours a week doing both, I decided to just pursue my musical career.
- I’ve found ways to pursue my other interests like writing, helping animals, and whatnot in a more time effective way on the side.
- I’ve been lucky to have turned my hobby into my career.
- I am now Director of Choral and Vocal Activities at Orange Coast College and the Artistic Director of the Orange County Women's Chorus and the Long Beach Chorale and Chamber Orchestra.
