Wahnon is the great-granddaughter of Sefardi Cantor James Mesod Wahnon of Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish/Portuguese synagogue of New York City, which is also the oldest synagogue in the United States. Her grandfather, Shamash Martin James Wahnon, and her father, James Robert Wahnon, also sang there. She is the first female in her family to become a cantor.
She studied at the Academy for Jewish Religion under the direction of Cantor Sol Zim. She has performed concerts in both Sefardi and Ashkenazi nusach, as well as taught classes to children and adults in synagogues all over the United States. She has served numerous communities as a cantor, including Temple Isaiah in Palm Springs, CA; Temple Beth-El in Ithaca; and Gurwin Jewish Nursing and Rehab Center in Commack. She is currently the spiritual leader at the Jewish Center of the Moriches. 
Wahnon has said she likes to encourage her congregation to explore new melodies from Ladino romantikas to contemporary Jewish music. “When we open our minds to new music, it gives us more voice and opportunity to praise Hashem!” she noted.
