I was born in Quantico, Virginia, and as a child lived in many different and interesting places, including Japan. I moved to Huntsville when I was 14 years old.

I have lived in Madison since 1998. In May 2020, I got married and now live in Hampton Cove with my new husband and kids. My son is a Mississippi State University graduate and works in the forestry industry, and my daughter attends Bob Jones High School. Both of my children attended Madison Elementary for kindergarten through sixth grade. Our family has three very spoiled cats. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, visiting new places, diy home projects, reading, riding the Harley with my husband, and Alabama football!
