We've just moved to a new (bigger) house which is within easy driving distance to Manhattan, so we would be thrilled to play host to any Wren tours to NYC!"

- "After working for Catholic Charities-Immigration Legal Services for a number of years, I began law school in 2001 and am now in my second year. Although I am immersed in work, I still find time to sing at school and am co-directing a co-ed a cappella group called "Legally Sound." We sing mostly pop music, which is a quite a change for me from my Wren Singer days. I just arranged "I Want You Back" by the Jackson Five and am praying that it sounds okay!
I was married on August 10, 2002 to Michael Rudmann, who I met in 2000 at a retreat for former Jesuit volunteers (I did the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) 1997-1998 after graduating William and Mary, and he did JVC 1996-1997 after graduating Holy Cross). Mike is a dentist in the U.S. Navy and is currently stationed in Annapolis, MD. We bought a house in Pasadena, MD, which is half-way between Annapolis (where he works) and Baltimore (where I attend school). Mike is also a singer, musician, and actor, so we have quite a lot in common!
I'm not sure what I want to do after graduating law school, but I am seriously considering going back into immigration law. I'm currently interning at the U.S. Immigration Court in Baltimore and am really enjoying my experience."
