She has performed with Barry Gibb, Nell Carter, Gloria Estefan & Freddie Hubbard, has warmed up audiences for Ben Vereen, Don Rickles & Loretta Lynn to name but a few. Her original song "Have a Heart" has been used to raise awareness about homelessness & poverty & for organizations like AIDSWalk Miami, Children’s Cancer Society, ARC Minnesota, & the Minnesota Visiting Nurse Association.
