What is your profession and give a brief description of what you do. ith Harvesters CU, I have been able to serve the financial needs of our members in a multitude of areas for more than 20 years. As a loan originator, I help on an entirely cooler scale, with the purchase of a new home or even a lot/ land loan which we can then build the home of your dreams. The possibilities are endless!

Jennifer Lawrence – we are both tomboys at heart and she has great hair.

Pensacola is a unique ‘funnel of folks’ from all over the world. They either visit or relocate here. We seem to have a ‘slow simmer’ that draws you in to stay a spell.

Finish this statement; I can’t get through the day without… some 80’s jams.

Getting the word out on how important credit is in the adult world. There is not enough taught on the subject of finance and money handling in the pre-adult years.

If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

I have a kitchen because it came with the house… don’t judge!
