Roxie is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native with a Bachelor's Degree in Broadcast Journalism from Louisiana State University. But instead of pursuing her television career, immediately upon graduation, Roxie moved to Nashville because the stage was calling her name. While pursuing her dream of being a country music performer, she began honing her craft as a songwriter. She landed her first publishing deal with Harold Shedd in 1997 thus beginning her professional career as a songwriter. Since that time, her songs have been recorded by Reba McEntire, Lee Ann Womack, Faith Hill, Jamie O'Neal, Sara Evans, Trace Adkins, Tracy Lawrence, Chely Wright, Lorrie Morgan, and countless others. She has written chart topping singles such as Lee Ann Womack's "Why They Call It Falling" (Billboard's Top 10), Reba McEntire's "My Sister" (#15 on Billboard), Tracy Lawrence's "Lonely" (Billboard's #13), as well as Jamie O'Neal's "When I Think About Angels" which was not only Roxie's first Billboard #1 charting single but it was also nominated for a Grammy.

In 2001, Roxie signed a recording contract with DreamWorks Records and completed a project with producers Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney) and James Stroud (Toby Keith). However, due to an impending merger, the project was never released. Roxie then focused her energy on an independent project recording and releasing “Ms. America” on Valhalla Records. The album includes the moving tribute "A Soldier's Wife" which honors the unsung heroes of the war. It received an amazing reception at radio and as a result, Roxie continues to perform at military bases across the country.

Roxie is a new mother but continues to keep busy by performing and writing as well as serving on committees such as the Nashville Songwriter's Association International with whom she's traveled to Capitol Hill as a representative to lobby for songwriter's legislation.
