What’s the must fun about your job at Coyote Ugly?
I get to be myself every day, and for some reason Coyote Ugly just brings “me” out even more. Plus I meet some pretty cool people from all over and all backgrounds.

What makes you a good Coyote?
People saw me being a good Coyote before I knew I was! Outside of that, it’s my life. Literally what you see in the bar is what you get out of the bar, from my genuine spirit to the bullets on my belt.

How long have you been a bartender?
Since September 2024

What do like to do on your off time?
If I’m not in a bookstore, I’m in band practice. I’m a vocalist/front woman of an alternative metal band, Titty Baby. If I’m pissed, it turns to punk.

What is your favorite type of music?
Punk, Alternative rock

Do you think the movie is anything like the real thing?
For me it is! I moved to Austin at the end of August in hopes to form a band. I took time off of shows, and I wanted to dive back into performing. I didn’t have a job. Thankfully, Tish hired me at Coyote Ugly because I was just vibes, no plan. I was a little more shy at first, I wasn’t used to being seen, and my confidence wasn’t the best (yes, I know it’s crazy). I feel the most comfortable when I have a mic in my hand. NOW, do I wish I could set the bar on fire and dance like a badass? Yes! But I’ll take what we can get in 2025.

Why should a potential customer come and visit you?
I have an amazing personality with a genuine spirit. I’m also pretty hardcore, they have to see what the hype’s about. This Coyote is the vocalist of Titty Baby. Come get it while it’s hot, baby.

Do you have any advice for women that want to be a Coyote?
Ladies, y’all can do whatever you want, but you have to want it. Never compare yourself to the next, and make sure everyday you wake up to be better than you were last week. Whether dancing, or just putting yourself out there, can’t be afraid to get a little “Ugly.”
