- Where did you grow up? Richland, MO
- How did you get connected with Harmony House? Why is their mission important to you? I got connected with Harmony House while serving with a group of women from my church. I was stunned by the prevalence of domestic violence in our area and was impressed by the level of commitment the staff has in helping these families. When I toured the (former) facility I was shocked at the state of the housing that these victims were fleeing to and knew that I wanted to find a way to get involved and be a part of the solution.
- What pictures did you have up on the walls of your bedroom as a teenager? Or what was your favorite band as a teenager? I love a huge variety of music but 90’s rap can never be wrong. As for posters- those were of Michael Jordan!
- What is the most profound lesson you have learned? Something I try to remind myself often is that kindness always matters. You never know what someone else is going through.
- What do you like to do in Springfield with your free time? Anything involving friends and family! I love watching my kids play sports, hitting the roller coasters at Silver Dollar City, and sitting on the patio at most any restaurant in town and enjoying a nice drink with my husband.
- When you were a child, what did you want to grow up to be? As long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a mommy and a teacher.
- Do you have a role model? If so, who? Strong women. I get motivated seeing women who rock their profession. Seeing women who set a goal and go after it full throttle are so inspiring to me. I also am constantly inspired by my fellow mommy friends. The love and care they show my family and I inspires me to be a better mommy and friend.
- Something you’ll always find in my refrigerator? pickles and cheese
- What is the most random thing in your purse right now? A few balloons- I have 3 kids- you never know when you’ll need to blow one of those puppies up for a little kid entertainment.
- If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? I would love to be Head Zoo Keeper for the day- I LOVE animals.
- Name one song you would sing at Karaoke night. Yikes. No one needs to hear that!
- What was the last thing you recorded on TV? Every Friday night Dateline and 20/20.
- If you could share a meal with any 2 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? Oprah Winfrey and Abraham Lincoln- wow! Wouldn’t that be interesting!
- Are you related or distantly related to anyone famous? Not that I know of.
- Your most favorite 80’s band? Journey
- Favorite 80’s trend you wish would come back? Probably, big hair. I still enjoy wearing mine pretty big!
- My favorite thing about Harmony House: The passion that the staff shows for helping the victims of domestic abuse. It’s contagious, you can’t help but want to get involved when you find out all the great things happening there.
