Nobody puts baby in a corner...

About Me

It's true, I'm a kindhearted woman. I am blessed with a life full of family, friends, music and community. I don't like to sit around and complain about what's wrong with the world. Instead, I try to do what i can to impact the lives of others. I'm a social worker/teacher by day and a musician, promoter, do-gooder by nite. I have a local arts organziation, The Rivertown Music Club, that supports our scene here in the greater cincinnati, northern kentucky area. I am forever suprised by people and believe whole-heartedly you can never underestimate the power of the human spirit.
