She began her formal training in classical vocals at the University of Findlay OH and additionally studied under Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen. She released her first two albums in 2013 and 2017 with gothic/power metal band Insatia.

In her spare time she enjoys being a hiker, book collector, and political campaign professional.
