Gwynn’s heart resides in music and that leads her to serving others.  Since she was 12 years old, Gwynn’s been involved in music with her church.  It brings her joy, comfort, and peace when she hears that the music performed was enjoyed, or it touched someone’s heart.  She feels it’s important to serve God, the church, and others to the best of your ability, and she couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
