Briefly tell us your life story.

I was born in Florida but raised in Mississippi. I am the oldest of three girls. I graduated from Brandon High School and met my husband in 2014. I joined the Morgan White Group family a year later where I worked in the Claims Department until June of 2020 when I moved to Broker Services. My husband and I married in June of 2016 and I gained an amazing son, whom I love with all that I have! I have enjoyed watching him grow into such a sweet 10-year-old who loves baseball, video games, and all things “trick shot” worthy with anything with wheels! My family means the world to me!

What is your favorite book(s)?

I enjoy a little bit of everything, but psychological thrillers and mystery books are at the top of my list! My favorite book is The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

What are your hobbies or interests?

I do photography on the side. It is a true passion of mine and I love being able to express emotions by a single photo! I also enjoy painting whenever I have time!

What are you most proud of?

I’m proud of how far I’ve come in photography. I know I have a lot more to learn and skills to get better at, but I am proud to be where I am. I am proud of the life my husband and I have built and continue to build for each other and our family, of my son who loves baseball and strives to be better at it. Overall, I’m just proud of my family. They mean the world to me and I don’t know what I would ever do without them.

Briefly tell us your life story.

I have lived in Florence my whole life with my parents and little brother. I am a daddy’s girl and was taught to do everything he did. I grew up playing softball, basketball, hunting, fishing, swimming, playing in the woods and working with my dad – operating heavy machinery, cleaning deer and other animals, but I also competed in pageants. I graduated from Florence High School in 2015 and Mississippi College in 2018 with a degree in Mathematics. I recently started taking flight lessons and Joel Jasper, Compliance & Privacy Officer and Vice President of Business Solutions, is my instructor! He is the reason I ended up at Morgan White Group and I love it so far – everyone is so nice!

What is your favorite book(s)?

If I am honest, I do not like to read. However, the only book I have ever read, and that I do recommend, is Mathematics Through the Eyes of Faith. No, you do not have to be good at math to read this book! It showcases mathematics as God’s language. Nothing is coincidence; math is in everything we do!

What are your hobbies or interests?

I love the outdoors. I am either working at deer camp, hunting, or fishing, depending on the time of year. I am an LSU fan, so Geaux Tigers! I also enjoy Netflix, cooking, and spending time with my family and boyfriend hanging out.

What are you most proud of?

I should probably say my bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or something that took a lot of work, and while I am proud of those things, I am prouder of the smaller things. It may seem little, but every night, my family sits down, eats supper, and talks to one another. We have never missed a night. I have also been stung by a scorpion twice, which I caught and made a paperweight with!

• “I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze. But I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.” — Forrest Gump
