In Whistler, she performs mostly for the “Whistler Arts Council” , “Canadian Snowmobile Adventures”, and “The Whistler Farmers’ Market". Her brothers are also singer/songwriters, as well as her father. She has acquired a music mentor in New York City, and has traveled to Los Angeles to do some recording with top writers and producers in the industry who have worked with such names as Britney Spears, Pink, and Kelly Clarkson. Her song "Wear & Tear" was on rotation on Mountain FM which had been voted into the Fresh 5@5 dozens of times. She recently opened for fiddler Ashley MacIssaac on the Celebration Plaza Stage in Whistler. She is very excited about the yellow brick road that lies in front of her.
