She has a rare gift and ability to communicate with every level of musician -- the brand new singer, as well as the most seasoned teacher. Her presentations are interesting, different and full of audio-visuals, audience participation and singing!  Sandi especially loves working with young women, "When young people hear their first overtone and get excited at locking a chord, I relive that same thrill with them."  Sandi was active in beginning the Young Women In Harmony program, and organized the Sweet Teens, a group of singers from the gang-infested areas of urban northside St. Louis, which was sponsored by Sweet Adelines International and Girls Incorporated.

Sandi is a member of the American Choral Directors Association, the Missouri Choral Directors Association, Sweet Adelines International, and Harmony Incorporated.  She is an associate member of the Barbershop Harmony Society.  She is the director (at the master level) of the award-winning St. Louis Harmony Chorus, and has earned two international quartet gold medals and six regional quartet championships.  She sings with Harmony Incorporated's current international silver medalist quartet Blaze. 

Sandi is the only person certified as a competition judge in the Showmanship Category and the Presentation Category, which qualifies her to judge any barbershop contest (male or female).  She is a certified international faculty member of Sweet Adelines International and is a busy and sought-after coach.

When not performing, directing, judging, teaching or coaching, Sandi is the director of development and public relations for Almost Home, an educational transitional housing program for homeless teenage mothers and their children. She is married to an accomplished singer, coach, chorus director and world-famous arranger, David Wright. The Wrights have three grown children and four grandchildren. They live in a 1904 World's Fair home in the Central West End, an historic neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri.
