I began my music career when I picked up a violin in the first grade. Throughout the years,I fell in love with writing. I grew up an avid journalist and as I got older, I gravitated towards songs that painted a picture of life and decided that if songs could make me feel moved in every way, then I wanted to do the same for others. God planted music in my soul and I am motivated for growth!

Instruments & Skills
I am a singer, violinist/fiddler who has had the opportunity to play in country bands, music worship leader for 10 yrs and teach children's choir. I am a physical therapist who loves to sing to my patients and those who are nearing the end of life. I am self taught mandolin player, however, I have found that time is limited to keep up my mandolin skills being a mother to 3 teenagers. I work hard trying to balance my physical, emotional, spiritual and musical well being but God gave us all 24 hrs in a day and he intends us to spend it wisely. We spend our time where are priorities are and if I have not filled my musical/songwriting cup, I have learned that I am not making it enough of a priority. Here's to the growth and balance that perpectuates great collaborations!
