Rebecca Ramos - Intern

Rebecca Ramos graduated from Radford High school in 2003. Singing in choirs since the sixth grade, Rebecca joined HYOC her freshman year of high school. As a member of the Gioventu and Na Leo ensembles, she interned with the Pacific Rim Childrens Choral Festival in its first three years. Rebecca is now attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa in pursuit of a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Vocal Music. Along with her regular classes, she has been actively participating in the University Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and Aunty Nola’s Hawaiian Chorus. Expanding her performance horizons, she recently joined the HOT Chorus and plans to continue the stage expanse by auditioning for local community theater as well.
