Briefly describe your involvement in FFA. I was in FFA in middle and high school and now my daughter is as well.
Tell us about your family. I live in Augusta County with my high school sweetheart, Brian; we've been together for 24 years in July. We have one daughter, Adalynn, who is 14. She loves music, volleyball and crafting. We also have a son, Archer, who is 8. He loves to help his dad haul water and work outside. He is also a huge wrestling fan!
Tell us about your pets. We have the cutest American Bully named Smoke. He will be two in June and we all just love him to pieces! He is our first family dog and he has totally completed our family.
What is your favorite song or artist? My favorite song has always been "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Keith Whitley. I am a huge country music fan, mainly from the 80s and 90s, but some newer artists I enjoy are Cody Johnson, Zach Bryan, Charles Wesley Godwin and Zach Top.
What is your favorite movie? It's way too hard to narrow down one favorite movie… so here are my top three: My Best Friend’s Wedding, Steel Magnolias and Coal Miner’s Daughter.
What is your favorite food? My favorite food is Mexican! I could eat it every day and not get tired of it.
Tell us about your hobbies. I love to read! I'm currently in a book club and we have so much fun meeting up once a month. My personal best was 193 books read in a year. I also love to craft and decorate my house, which is something I passed along to my daughter. I really enjoy going to concerts and watching movies, as well.
Have you ever collected anything? I collect anything that has to do with Dolly Parton. I've got cookbooks, memorabilia, cast iron skillets, wine, food, perfume, funko pops, pretty much anything I can get my hands on.
What was your dream job as a child? I wanted to be a hairstylist and even went to hair school; however, I ended up getting a job at a bank when I was 18 and I've been in banking ever since!
What is your favorite aspect of your job? I love all the different departments of Farm Credit that I get to be involved with. I work with Farm Credit Express, UCCs, early disclosures... I'm never bored and I always have something going on that's challenging me.
What would you sing at Karaoke night? My old go-to for karaoke night was anything by the Dixie Chicks or Sara Evans.
If you could meet a famous person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Obviously, I would love to meet Dolly Parton, because she's an icon! She is the definition of a humanitarian, giving so much to so many. Plus, she's silly and funny and someone I could see myself having a good time with.
