Her work has been featured in Forbes, GRAMMY.com, and People. She has performed on stage with Sting and Pentatonix, toured globally, and secured dozens of TV placements for her songs.

As a certified trauma-informed coach, Cheryl empowers creative entrepreneurs through her methodology Rooted Results™, delivered via her luxury retreat, her group coaching program, Amplify, and her resource platform, In The Key of Success.
