I’ll be honest, ever since I started making music I have been surrounded by amazing people. And most importantly, friends. I have had my friends believing in me and doing incredibly kind things all along the way. Teaching me how to distribute my music, promote it and grow as a creative. My friends have helped me mix, master, produce my songs for free or extremely cheap. Read more>>

The kindest thing anyone has ever done for me was allow me to sign a lease with an artist loft before I identified as an Artist. In December of 2015, I was living in my hometown of rural Fergus Falls (pop. 14,411) and working in retail as a supervisor for the local Herberger’s department store. Less than two years prior I had graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication with a minor in Writing Studies unsure of ‘what I wanted to do when I grew up.” I spent a year and a half trying out different jobs through various companies in hopes that something might stick.

So I previously worked in retail , where I met all types of people. I helped many customers find the perfect attire for their occasion; however this one was different. It was an older woman, I believe I was about 20 years of age at the time, who needed some guidance on what to wear for her event . Right off the bat she told me our store was a little to “young” for her taste , but she just kept on talking . Read more>>

So I’ve been working as a travel planner for Tink’s Magical Vacations for over 10 years and the kindest thing that’s happened to me came from the owner of the company and just a few months ago as a matter of fact. I got a call from her out of the blue and she asked me how would I like to go to South Africa on an Adventures of Disney trip to represent our agency and bring my husband with me? Wow! Was my response. Read more>>

After 9-11 millions of people responded to the terrorist attacks by enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition millions of active duty and reserve military personnel went on alert and eventually served in what became know as the Global War on Terrorism. These men and women and their families put everything at risk, even their lives, to protect me and the hundreds of millions of their fellow citizens from the violent extremists who carried out the 9-11 attacks.

There are a few women who stand out as being kind & encouraging in my lifetime of pursuing my creativity. First and foremost is my Maternal Grandmother. My sister and I would alternate weekends and weeks spent with her especially during summer vacation. Trips to the local store were a treat where we allowed to choose something to entertain us during our visits. Read more>>
