Tell Us About Yourself

My husband, nine-year-old daughter and I live in Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky. Two years ago, the three of us snuck off to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado and my husband and I eloped. It was absolutely my favorite day ever. After ten years together, we like to keep things lowkey. Some of my favorite things are traveling, camping, reading, music, raising chickens, cooking, all things Lord of the Rings, trivia and most recently, baking all kinds of breads.

What Is Something About Yourself That Would Surprise Us?

My very first W-2 job was as a DJ for a southern gospel radio station, and as a result, I can rap really fast.

What Did You Want To Be When Growing Up?

How Have You Grown Personally Or Professionally While Working At Banterra?

For me, the most impactful part of joining the Banterra team has been being able to grow while balancing creativity and purpose in my every day. I come from over ten years in hospitality and marketing, so it has been great to learn new skills in a new industry. I also took over the Paducah market’s community outreach and volunteering initiative and joined the Brand Ambassador Program. Doing so has enabled me to evolve even more. I love being involved in coordinating events and campaigns to deepen our connection with community.
