About Me

Hi! Thanks for stopping in and listening to my music. You'll notice a few of the songs are simply piano/vocal (aka. me and my keys:-). Hopefully you can hear the potential in the song itself stripped to it's natural origin. I moved to Nashville with the sole purpose of becoming a better songwriter. I'm focusing on making my craft the best that it can be. A little about me: I was born and raised a farm girl north of Miller, SD, went to school at SDSU in Brookings, SD and then taught K-12 Vocal Music in Arlington, SD for 4 years. I am now a K-6 General Music teacher in the Nashville area. I love my job - it's challenging and rewarding but sometimes I wouldn't mind just writing songs for the rest of my life! :-) I love meeting new writers or just all-around great people in the Nashville area so feel free to leave me a message!aSend my pics and video to your cell phone!
