Arts in London, Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin (where she also got her Film degree) and with top notch industry heavy-weights since she attended the High School For Performing Arts in Houston. 

​

​She’s toured all over Texas and performed in places as far away as Paris, London, Puerto Vallarta, & Scotland as well as all over the US in groovy cities like New Orleans, Nashville, New York City & Orlando.

​

Other original music projects have seen her hit the charts in Canada and the UK with the hit "I Don't Wanna Work".

Other fun non-musical tidbits:

She lives between Texas and Florida as she is part-lizard. Loves Star Wars (minus the sequel films), Harry Potter, the X-files and Game of Thrones - prior to the last season - can Elon Musk buy that franchise and start over? House MD, Burn Notice, MASH, David Letterman and Downton Abbey for the win.

​

Adores old school Brit actors like Peter O'Toole (who she chased all over London one night in the 90s), Richard Burton, Alan Rickman, Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Laurie...and...true blue New Yorker: Alan Alda.
