Adelaide graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Communication Studies and minor in Theatre. She has been singing since a very young age, in community choruses such as the Snohomish County Children's chorus and believes in the healing power of singing in community. She loves to travel, roller skate and - as a lifelong PNW local - enjoy the natural beauty we have here rain or shine. She is excited to bring her organizational skills and non-profit background to support the work of the Market Street Singers.
