WHAT INSPIRED YOU OR LED YOU TO YOUR CURRENT CAREER? I was in
the real estate industry and my company closed right before the market crash, so I moved back in with my mom. I decided that I needed a different job where I wouldn’t have to move back in with my mom! So, I thought, “Where could I work and always have the opportunity to have a place to rent? An apartment community!” I started with one, with no experience, and worked my way through to my current job.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN SUWANEE AND WHAT DO YOU LOVE THERE? Tequila Mama. I love their Ahi Tuna Tostados and the guacamole.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED OR LIVED IN SUWANEE? I moved from
Michigan in 1994 when I was 12 to Hall County and then to Suwanee. I went to Collins Hill High School, and we moved around a couple of times in Suwanee.
WHAT HAS KEPT YOU HERE? The sense of community and how everyone is so welcoming. Suwanee has a big-town feel in a small environment, where

we have the benefit of being as active or involved as we like or spend time alone. We can put up a hammock in Town Center Park and chill by ourselves or walk around and talk to people at the restaurants.
HOW BIG IS YOUR FAMILY?
I have one sister and my mom. My dad passed away 17 years ago after a skateboarding accident where he fell and hit his head and later died. I was 20 at that time and the experience definitely made me grow up fast. Nine years ago, my mom and stepdad moved from Suwanee to a house on Lake Lanier. My stepdad was critically injured in a boating accident and also later passed away. When this happened, I moved to Flowery Branch to be near her and help her with her house after this sudden accident. Eventually, my mom and sister moved to Destin, Florida. So, it’s now me, my fiancé and his family here. We have two dogs, Koda and Bailey, and a cat named Serious Black. I wasn’t supposed to keep the cat, so I gave him the nickname of Blacky and gave him away. But he came back! They are all rescues and I love them so much.
