She is proud union activists as a member of AFSCME 3299 and SEIU 2015. She is also on the Executive Board for AFSCME 3299 and is founding member of our Pride Committee.

Carl Blincoe
Treasurer
Carl moved to the Bay Area in 2nd grade and grew up on the peninsula. He graduated from UCLA, married, and raised four children. He now has four grandchildren. Music has always been a passion. Before joining Mission Peak Choir, he sang in a church choir and directed a kids choir. His last career before retirement was teaching high school math. Besides music, Carl enjoys delivering Meals on Wheels, swimming at Ohlone, preparing tax returns through the VITA program, and he is a member of the Niles Rotary club. He stays active with bicycling and hiking. Music gives him great joy, especially when singing with the amazing people in our choir.
Kirsten Kavulak
Kirsten (she/her) joined Mission Peak Choir as a singer in 2021. Her favorite part of performing is the amazing opportunities to connect in the moment with the audience and her fellow singers. Since joining the choir she has steadily taken on more volunteer responsibilities, which include creating and organizing practice resources, supervising rehearsal logistics as Choir Manager, and joining the Board
in 2025. Kirsten has a BS in Physics from the University of Virginia, and worked in data analytics before deciding to switch gears and focus on homeschooling her kids. Her non-musical hobbies include lifting heavy weights at the gym, playing Minecraft (with or without her kids), and sleeping.
Ben Scott
Ben Scott joined the Board in 2026, bringing over twenty-eight years of choral singing experience to the team. Over the decades, he has lent his tenor voice to various ensembles, including Schola Cantorum and the Mission Peak Chamber Singers, and he currently serves as the choir’s music librarian. Professionally, Ben spent forty years as an engineer and project manager—a background that naturally inclines him toward keeping the choir's behind-the-scenes systems running like clockwork. When he isn’t optimizing a spreadsheet, organizing the library, or practicing his music over a coffee at Peet’s, you can usually find him out cycling, working in his woodshop, or diving into genealogical research.
