About Me

My photo
Renate Naghavi
Newmarket, Ontario, Canada
I conduct the York Region Community Choir. It's such a big part of my life! I love singing and I love leading the choir. It's a great way to support our community: Newmarket, Aurora, and beyond. The choir itself is a wonderful community. Although I worked full-time near home for 7+ years with brilliant engineers in the nuclear supply chain, and earlier in my life taught ESL to adults full-time in Toronto for 8 years, being a stay-at-home mother was the biggest, most satisfying, part of my life. I enjoyed the time I spent with my children and I continue to put family first. I had a large garden for many years and still love being outdoors. I enjoy walking, reading, and writing.
