About Me

 I'm a native of North Carolina and currently live in Morrisville, NC but plan to move to Roxboro, NC in Spring 2021. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my boyfriend Jon and his family, my English Bulldog Lilly and my cats Oreo and Butterscotch. My mother lives outside of Winston-Salem, NC and I visit her often.

The majority of my time is spent gardening in my flowerbeds. I have won over 40 ribbons in flower competitions at regional fairs. I also build unique container fountains out of vintage farm metal. I like to stay current on trends in marketing and technology. I am passionate about learning and prefer to absorb content vs watch TV or movies, but I am a dedicated fan of The Voice. I love spending time at the coast and visit several times each year, including one big annual beach trip with my closest girlfriends. I also enjoy hiking in the NC mountains.

I previously lived in Sweden for eight months while studying Cross-cultural Communication at Vaxjo University and traveled extensively in Europe. I did a college program internship at Walt Disney World Co. in Orlando, FL where I learned the globally recognized Walt Disney customer service standards.
