Outside of work

When I'm not in the office planning events, you can find me traveling with my husband, playing with our two dogs, working in our flower beds, hitting the pickleball court or reading a good book. I also spend a lot of time serving on the South Arkansas Arts Center Board helping bring art to life. I just finished my 6th year term serving on our non-profit board for El Dorado Service League; which is an organization that provides many needs for the children in Union County 18 and under. I have a heart for helping people no matter what's the cause.

A lamp, a blue cup with the word 'Sparkle', and decorative blocks with the message 'God Bless America' are on a side table alongside the armchair.
