She attended the Berklee College of Music and started a rock band during that time. Garth Brooks had a big influence on her life and music career. As she gained more knowledge about songwriting and copyright laws, she eventually launched Songpreneurs and has been giving talks regarding songwriting publishing and copyrights and is piloting a program with arts and intellectual property.
