Columbia County has been my home for over 30 years, where I chose to live and raise my children in the Appling community. In 2021, we sold our family home of 20 years and moved to Harlem, GA. My involvement in the community stretches beyond this local area. I support JDRF in their mission to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes, having served as the Augusta Walk to Cure co-chair from 2008 to 2012. I continually support local organizations helping children and military.
