I've been elected by my peers to serve as Vice Mayor for five years and am honored to serve Germantown as your Alderman for the last 7. Here's a little bit about me- I am a passionate advocate for public education having served Germantown as the District 5 Board Commissioner on the Shelby County School Board during a pivotal transition period for Memphis City and Shelby County Schools students.

My husband, Steve, and I met at FedEx and were married 36 years ago at Germantown United Methodist Church. We are proud of the life we've led here- focused on our faith, our family and our friends. Our daughter, Morgan, lives in Salem, Oregon, with her husband, Dr. Shane Day. After receiving her Masters at the University of Denver's Korbel School of International Studies, Morgan works as Director of Global Programs and Partnerships for The World Food Prize helping with food security around the world. Shane is a professor at Portland State University. We are very proud of the life they're making together and as brand new parents to their first child, our first grandchild, Juniper Elinor. Junie is the light of all our lives and such a JOY! Our son, Marshall, graduated from the University of Memphis majoring in Logistics/Supply Chain Management, and On Site Customer Support Manager with Swift Transportation. Marshall married his wife, Lindsay, a NICU nurse at LeBonheur, this past October and lives right here in Memphis. Our youngest daughter, Madison, graduated early from The University of Tennessee and immediately began working at Vanderbilt University where she is the Human Resources Manager for the Owen Graduate School of Management. We are blessed, indeed. I began my career as an Affiliate Broker with GaNelle Roberts, Realtors, a family owned business that my mother, GaNelle, founded. We recently merged our firm with The FIRM | Memphis Real Estate, a start up real estate company located in Germantown with like minded real estate professionals who are focused on providing exceptional care and service to our customers.
