During her middle and high school years she found an outlet for her artistic view on life and began to create her own t-shirt designs and punk era clothing. After high school her desire to have a family became her focus in life. During this time she became proficient in the art of baking and gourmet candy making earning her the name Punk Rock Betty Crocker.
