Are you looking for an inspiring listen, something to motivate you, you've come to the right place. Welcome to women of the Northwest, where we have conversations with ordinary women leading extraordinary lives, motivating, inspiring, compelling.

 In today's episode, we have Bereniece (pronounced Breenis)Jones Centeno, who moved from Chicago in 2016 to Astoria. She has a master's degree in music, particularly in opera and arts administration. She lives with her husband Vincent, who is a music teacher at Lewis and Clark. She's part time Executive Director of the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts in Astoria. And she also works at Job Corps. 

She is the founder of Cascadia Chamber Opera Company which can be reached at 503-468-0796.

For those who have not ventured into the world of opera like me  Bereniece gives a great background and understanding of opera.  She is so enthusiastic, has an infectious laugh and is truly a motivating listen.

Her work with Job Corps students is interesting and she is truly a gift.
