Some might recognize her as part of the singing group 3GIRLS3, who were featured in "THE BEST OF (cabaret)" series in Chicago Magazine 2000. They have been active in the cabaret scene performing their critically acclaimed cabaret shows around the country. For more information, checkout 3GIRLS3.com.
