    About Me:  I’ve been working in the appraisal industry for 13 years and spent a lot of time growing within the AMC space. I’ve helped establish Learning and Development for Training Departments, managed multiple teams within Operational departments and helped with business requirements and UAT for Ops. I came to ACI/First American in December of 2022 looking to push myself and apply my skills in a new way and grow as a leader. 

    I live in Tennessee with my husband and our son, who just turned 1. He is the absolute light of my life. I enjoy horseback riding, and anything outdoors. Growing up, I participated in 4H and FFA. I always got to be outside with animals and learning about agriculture. I loved it. 

    Random fun fact about me – before moving to TN, I had a wedding planning business in CA for 5 years and have planned or helped in some way with over 100 weddings!

    TV – My all-time favorite show is Parks & Recreation
    Movies – My favorite movie no matter the time of year is White Christmas. Makes me think of my sweet gammy and my childhood. 
    Podcasts- I love listening to the Diary of a CEO. He always has compelling guests and pushes you to think outside of your own narrative. I love that!
    Music – What I am listening to really depends on my mood. I do love all music, but country music is my go-to. Big country music fan! I love me some George Strait, Reba, and Dolly Parton. Right now I am very obsessed with Kacey Musgraves.
    Food – I’m a simple gal. My favorite food is grilled cheese. 
    Hobbies – Volunteering at church events, hosting and planning parties for literally any and every reason and gardening – flowers specifically. I could talk to anyone about flowers all day long. 
    Measurement of success? I believe that the true reflection of my achievements lies in the respect, trust, and positive regard I earn from those around me. When my colleagues, peers and friends view me as reliable, competent, and inspiring, I know I have succeeded.
