I'm origina
lly from Southwest Virginia, but I was in a military family and we moved a lot! I moved to Chattanooga in 2007 and made Red Bank my forever home in 2010. After graduating from the Tennessee public school system, I earned my Bachelor's in English at East Tennessee State University and, many years later, I went back to school and obtained my Master's in Social Work from the University of Tennessee. Helping and serving people has always been my passion and purpose in life, and I've been fortunate to be able to serve people in a diverse array of settings: mental health, healthcare, the justice system, public schools, and through many community organizations. I've also worked in retail and in office settings, so I know how important it is to hear others' needs and perspectives and work with them to find common ground. I strive always to be a good listener, to be kind, to be welcoming, and to be empathetic, and I will work tirelessly for my community. My purpose here was and is not to win a seat on the Red Bank Commission to help myself, but to be a voice for all of my friends and neighbors here in Red Bank.
