Her career has taken her from large-scale festivals to cozy, intimate venues, showcasing her versatility and talent. In 2023, she was recognized in the Summer issue of Bucks County Magazine and the May issue of Ocean City NJ Magazine, highlighting her contributions to the regional music scene.

Her CD became a sold-out favorite at Good Scents, a testament to her music’s resonance with listeners. A standout moment in her career was working with Robert Hazard, the late singer-songwriter behind the hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
