After high school she attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and later worked as a commercial interior designer. In 2010, she was laid off from the architecture firm she worked at, she went back to school for law enforcement and attended the police academy. She served as a police officer first in Minnesota, then moved to Missouri where she served until 2016. After six years as a police officer, she left the force and focused on her own businesses and returned to her art. She met Gary & Trish in April 2021 and joined the Monkey Brain Art mission. She is now the Director of Artist Engagement and a Warrior Art Instructor with Monkey Brain Art.
