Sarah Simkevich
Pitch Pipe
|
Hometown: North Kingstown, RI
Class Year: 2022 Majors: Secondary Education, English Star Sign: Pisces Sarah has been singing with the Wheatones since the fall of 2018 and is excited to return for her last year in the group! Sarah is the pitch pipe of our group, meaning that she leads rehearsals and conducts and arranges the songs we sing! Music has always been a big part of Sarah's life; she's played the piano since kindergarten, learned to play the cello at age 10, and has sung in various choirs throughout middle and high school. Outside of singing with her favorite group of Wheatone ladies, Sarah works as an intern in Wheaton's admission office, she is a Lead Residential Advisor in the YMC quad, she is a member of the senior class gift chair committee, she is a part of the May Fellows Honors program, and she is an intern at Attleboro Enterprises Inc.. She is also a talented unicyclist, although she's suffered a sprained ankle or two zooming around campus! |

Kenz HubbardHometown: Kalaheo, HI
Class Year: 2022 Major: Political Science Star Sign: Pisces Kenz has been singing with the Wheatones since the fall of 2018. She's been belting her lungs out all her life--first as a baby, crying in the middle of the night and driving her parents insane, and then as she grew older, singing in the middle of the night and still driving her parents insane. She is grateful to have found a fun group of ladies that are even louder than she can be (and her parents are equally grateful to finally be getting some sleep). Outside of the Wheatones, Kenz plays on Wheaton's Women Soccer team, works as a tour guide and student panelist in the Admissions Office, and is involved in Wheaton's Mayfellows program. She also enjoys piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. |
Julia FarinacciHometown: Roslyn, NY
Class Year: 2023 Majors: Fine Arts, Early Childhood Education Star Sign: Aquarius Julia first joined the Wheatones in the fall of 2019 and she couldn’t be happier to get to sing with these amazing ladies. Outside of the Wheatones, you can likely find her painting in the art studio or going for a walk in the Wheaton woods. Julia's favorite artists include Jimi Hendrix, Father John Misty, Sublime, the Last Shadow Puppets, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (and the list goes on and on). Julia is so thrilled that we’re able to sing together in person again this semester! We couldn't agree more Julia! |

Jayna Thornley
Hometown: Charlestown, RI
Class Year: 2023 Majors: Biochemistry, Hispanic Studies Star Sign: Scorpio Jayna joined the Wheatones in the fall of 2019. According to Jayna, she has been singing from the time she was conceived. Her parents are also singers and it gave her a way to bond with both of them. We like to think that Jayna was bopping to Simon & Garfunkel in the womb. You could say she is well travelled since she went to 7 different schools growing up and lived in 10 different homes...no she's not a military kid. *Cue Lindsay Lohan's opening monologue from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen*. |
Sadie Woodward
Hometown: Rowley, MA
Class Year: 2023 Major: Environmental Studies Star Sign: Pisces Sadie began singing with the Wheatones in the spring of 2020. She loves the confidence music gives her and the way it brings all kinds of people together. She loves music and creativity so much that she is also a member of Wheaton's Symphony Orchestra and Craft Club! If you want a little piece of your childhood back, this lady can recite Shel Silverstein poems from memory. We like to think that the Wheatones are like The Giving Tree, Sadie...it will teach you a lot about life and make you cry. |

Claire Richmond
Baby Tone
|
Hometown: Hiram, ME
Class Year: 2023 Majors: Secondary Education, History Star Sign: Libra Claire has been singing since the glorious years of middle school when she started in musical theater, and continued with it throughout high school. She was also simultaneously involved in her school's band and chorus. When she found time to do anything but music, we may never know! Claire feels the most at home singing with her peers and she is happiest when she is performing on the stage. So you can imagine her excitement when she came to Wheaton and was able to join the choir and now the Wheatones! Even though she is new to the Wheatones, Claire says she already feels so welcomed and that the Wheatones provide a truly loving and accepting space that she's happy to be a part of! Outside of singing, Claire plays dungeons and dragons each week with friends from home and she loves to draw and paint. We love our creative and caring Claire! |
