What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time, I love spending time with my family and my rescue fur-babies, who are very special to me. I’ve also really enjoyed traveling and exploring new places. I love discovering local restaurants, small shops, and unique experiences that make each trip memorable.
Where are you originally from? I am originally from Fairmont, West Virginia, so having the opportunity to serve students in my hometown community is especially meaningful to me.
If money was no object, what would you do with it? If money were no object, I would love to have land where my family could live close to one another — a place where we could gather, make memories, and where I could be close to my grandbabies someday. I would also love the opportunity to give back in meaningful ways — to my church, charities, my community, and my family. I think the best gift of having financial freedom would be being able to help others and giving back.
What did you want to be when you were growing up? As a child, I always dreamed of being a mom. Raising a family has been one of the greatest joys and accomplishments of my life. Along the way, I was fortunate to find a career I truly love. Supporting students as they learn, grow, and achieve their goals has been incredibly rewarding, and I feel grateful to do work that makes a difference in their lives.
What is an interesting or fun fact about yourself? Here's a fun fact: I am deathly afraid of the dark. Let's just say I prefer well-lit hallways and plenty of nightlights!
