She holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Wheaton College, where she was the Honors Conductor for the Concert Choir and led innovative projects such as FEAST, an interactive exploration of Shabbat dinner through multiple art forms, and The Big Sing, a large-scale community choral event. 

Anjali has taught choir and music courses across all age groups and has performed extensively as a mezzo-soprano soloist, chamber musician, and symphonic chorister. 

She is passionate about expanding the tradition of choral music to reach new audiences and transform lives beyond the concert hall.
