At 62, I’m thriving in my dream job as the CEO of a music academy, nurturing youth choristers in a joyful and supportive environment.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lorrainel Goodman in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love that I am still alive & healthy! You see, my mother died at 48 from a genetic cancer-- a condition that I inherited. So, would I make it to 48? When I did, I pivoted from a Broadway career to nonprofit arts management, marrying my passion for music and arts education, with management. Today, at 62, I proudly serve as Executive Director of a music academy as I embrace life, inspire youth, and create joy through music. I cherish my health, my instincts, and the wisdom I've gained.
How do you stay fabulous?ZUMBA!! I love rocking out to Latin beats, Bollywood, and even contemporary pop in a roomful of (mostly) other Fab40 women, many of whom have become good friends. I also recently adopted a very playful near-puppy – watching her outrace the pack at the nearby dog run is one of the great joys of my life – no matter how stressful the day, seeing her sheer exuberance makes the day end well.
What would you do with the $40,000?Easy: I would travel: see the wonders of the Galapagos Islands, take a cruise down the Nile, and go on a Safari -- all with first-class accommodations. Anything left over I would contribute to my Academy's scholarship fund, which provides tuition assistance to aspiring musicians who cannot afford our tuition rates.
