During their time at Oakland, they sang with the University Chorus, Oakland Chorale, Oakland Jazz Singers, Golden Grizzly Jazz Singers, and Oakland Symphony Orchestra. Eden was also a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society for two years prior to the pandemic.
In Chicago, in addition to singing with La Caccina, Eden has performed with Chicago Chamber Choir, Stare at the Sun, and Chicago Opera Theatre. During the day, Eden works at a small cafe in the Ravenswood area. In their free time, they love reading Kurt Vonnegut books, listening to true crime podcasts, drinking coffee and craft beer, and singing to their house plants.
