Born and raised in a small Northern California town next to an Indian reservation, this emerging country songwriter learned early on that life can be tough—but it’s also filled with stories worth telling. Growing up with limited means, she pursued an education despite the odds, navigating her way from a blue-collar up
inging into the white-collar world. Along the way, she survived a toxic marriage rife with domestic conflict, giving her firsthand experience of what it means to keep striving—even when someone tries to hold you down.
Her songs are unabashedly raw and real, reflecting everything from everyday struggles and the ravages of domestic violence, to the humor she’s had to rely on just to make it through. It’s that stark honesty that resonates with her audience—one minute she’s telling it like it is in a heart
eak ballad, and the next she’s cracking you up with a tongue-in-cheek “redneck” tune straight from real life. She also writes new, uplifting Christmas songs that showcase hope in spite of humble circumstances.
Whether she’s singing about working two jobs in a leaky RV or chasing dreams in a high-tech office, she keeps each lyric rooted in truth. Her life experiences have forged a unique storytelling style—one that combines her small-town spirit, a well-earned sense of humor, and a survivor’s resilience.
