What is your hometown, what brought you to the Pensacola 

area and how long have you been here?

I was born and raised in Blytheville, Arkansas. However, I’ve lived 

here off and on for more than 20 years, so I consider the Pensacola Bay 

Area home.

What is your profession and give a brief description of what 

you do.

I’ve worked in the retail/public relations/marketing fi elds in different 

capacities throughout my professional career. I’m currently the Chief 

Community Offi cer for the UWF Historic Trust. My team and I are 

responsible for marketing, membership, volunteers, special event 

rentals, retail operations and customer service. 

What led you to choose this profession?

 

As they say, life is a journey… however, I’ve always enjoyed working 

with people. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with 

a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Later, I earned 

nationally recognized public relations and marketing credentials 

from professional associations and a master’s degree in Strategic 

Communication and Leadership from the University of West Florida. 

I’m fortunate to be in a position that allows me to use all of my skills 

and experience.

What do you like best about Pensacola? What makes it so 

unique?

I love the diverse natural resources of the area…from beaches to 

woodlands in a matter of minutes! I also love the fact that Pensacola 

offers a variety of arts and cultural offering. And of course, its rich 

history. 

Give us three words that best describe you. 

Happy. Loved. Fulfi lled.

Can you name some of your favorite things about Pensacola.

My husband, Mark, and I enjoy dinners at Aegean Breeze and Global 

Grill as well as several waterfront dining spots, attending performances 

of the Pensacola Opera and Pensacola Symphony and art exhibits at 

the Pensacola Museum of Art and Artel Gallery. We also enjoy back-

tie events as well as Pensacola’s many laid-back outdoor festivals and 

concerts.

I AM PENSACOLA because…

  

…I embrace the diversity, optimism, energy and forward thinking that 

has positively shaped Pensacola’s past and present… and is essential to 

a prosperous future.
