Darlene was born and raised in Westminster (Orange County) in southern California. Having participated in music ministry since childhood, she has taken on leadership roles since 1994. She completed a B.A. in Music Education at Vanguard University of Southern California and has completed several courses toward an M.Div degree through Fuller Theological Seminary.
