Jackie embodies everything good about VDC – she is a fun, kind and encouraging person. She always has something positive and supportive to say and is welcoming and friendly to everyone.
She works really hard for the chorus organising the Christmas concert, sorting out raffle prizes, hampers and cakes and making sure everyone knows what they need to be doing. Always calm, organised and unflappable, everything is done with a smile. Jackie takes on every task with quiet confidence, enthusiasm and unequalled powers of persuasion!
In addition to this, she has been taking the minutes for the Management Team for many years and has now agreed to take on more responsibility with the Finance Role.
Nothing ever seems too much trouble, she is a total team player and we are very lucky to have Jackie as part of the VDC family.
Bio
Jackie was inspired to join Vocal Dimension after seeing us appear on BBC’s Pitch Battle in 2017. She is one of our Super Leads but has the flexibility to lend her voice to the tenors when needed.
Prior to joining the chorus Jackie sang with a light operatic group, where she was persuaded to venture out onto the stage to sing solo. Though she was reluctant, much to her relief it was a success!
When not singing with Vocal Dimension Jackie is an active member of the community, where she is a valued member of her local church and a popular volunteer at The Westway Community Centre. She has a large family and loves nothing better than to spend time at their caravan in Kent, where her nine grandchildren conspire to keep her very busy!
