Guitar

Renata, a stay-at-home mom, learned to play the guitar as a child in her native Brazil.
While living overseas for 22 years, she taught English as a second language and had the opportunity to play various music styles such as bossa nova, Latin American folk, and contemporary African tunes with groups from several countries.
Performing on rhythm guitar with Jalapeño Honey has been a very fulfilling experience for her.
