As a Natural State native, I've had the opportunity to travel to many places but have called Northwest Arkansas home for the past 20+ years. I have a passion for this area and a love for art and the outdoors. You'll typically find me telling anyone who visits all about our area, its history and where the community is headed.

 

I started out my career during the onset of the Internet and quickly became an advocate for the use of the Internet in higher education admissions - setting up University websites and the ability to apply online. As the Internet matured, I continued my education with an MBA and began helping retail suppliers market their products in the largest retailer in the world.

 

After 15 years in retail marketing, I decided to follow my passion and turn my focus to helping those in my community with my work at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Northwest Arkansas Community College Trail Technician Program and other non-profits in the Northwest Arkansas area.

​

You can usually find me out-and-about in Northwest Arkansas. Whether it is mountain biking (I'm a green trail girl!) or taking our pups out for "ride for your dinner night", I'm usually outside enjoying our "home".

I think my StrengthsFinder results pretty well sum me up:

• Futuristic

• Connectedness

• Positivity

• Strategic

• Adaptability
