When you’re not working, you’re…?

I am a wife and mom of two preschoolers, so you will find me spending time with my family and probably cooking a yummy new recipe for them!

What’s the best career advice you ever got?

Always keep a positive attitude and a willingness to learn new skills. Then, surround yourself with like-minded successful people.

Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?

I actually grew up in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, but moved to Asheville, North Carolina, in 2016 when I married my husband who is an Asheville native.

What’s a destination in the world that you aspire to visit?

I would love to go to Thailand one day and visit the beautiful beaches and islands there. I also love Thai food, so that would make it incredible!
