She was the recipient of a prestigious 2021 National YoungArts Foundation (YoungArts) award in jazz voice for her caliber of artistic achievement. Her professional engagements have ranged from Boston’s Symphony Hall and the State Room to the North Shore’s favorite restaurants.

Pathways for Children
In the spirit of giving back to the community, each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation.
Pathways is a leading provider of education and care programs on the North Shore of Massachusetts serving over 500 children and their families from 14 communities. Our year-round programming, including Head Start and Early Head Start, serves children birth to age 13 and their families. We have centers in Gloucester, Beverly and Salem.
Our comprehensive, all-inclusive educational programming offers meals, nutrition assessment, health and developmental screenings, referrals for special education services, family support, enrichment programs and transportation when necessary.
Pathways’ holistic, all-inclusive approach along with our outstanding performance reviews and professional accreditations are what set us apart from most early education and care organizations.
We set our standards high, value our dedicated professional staff, and invest in each child’s success.
Pathways programs reach our children and families in a wide variety of ways. Our social workers can make a difference for our families. Sue Todd, President and CEO states: “The staff can find and build on strengths that even the parent doesn’t know are there. That parent who walked through our door unable to make eye contact because of lack of self-esteem, finds their voice and finds their path to a promising future for their family.”
