Parrish is a citizen of the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, and learned black ash weaving from her mother, Kelly Church.
In 2012 she won Best of Show at the Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market, the first basket to take that honor. The Next Generation: The Carriers of Culture (2019), a basket shaped like a pregnant woman's body, appeared in Hearts of Our People.
