Most importantly, I am a wife and a mom to a set of amazing twins, Peyton and Parker. Aside from that, I also serve as the rehab director for a pediatric facility and have been a physical therapist for 11 years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family on our farm, reading, and of course, watching the Kentucky Wildcats. I feel very blessed that my children are part of such an amazing school, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the board and contribute to the ongoing betterment of our LMS community.
