Brittney Stradling-Maxwell graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Music Education (choral emphasis), and a Spanish minor from Utah Valley University. Originally from Arizona, her roots go deep into choral arts. She teaches choir and music production at West Jordan Middle School and, as her Grandad Lunt would say, continues to "dream the dream". Brittney participated in all the collegiate choirs at UVU both as a singer and a director (Chamber Choir, Emerald Singers, Deep Green, and Concert Choir). She teaches private voice lessons, loves nature, and is thrilled to be working with the Orem Chorale!
