  • What’s on TV: “The Better Sister”
  • What I drive: Black Betty
  • Favorite flicks: Anything with a twist I didn’t see coming
  • Actress who would play me in a movie: Honestly? Me. I’d love to play myself. Who else could capture the perfect blend of chaos, charm and sass? Plus, I already know my good angles. Give me the script, baby!
  • What I’m reading: Mostly fonts, file names and client emails
  • App I can’t live without (no judgment): Pinterest — half design inspo, half emotional support
  • Worst habit: Saying “I’ll be there in five” when I haven’t even left the house
  • On my office walls: Memories from my world travels

  • Superstitions: The classics — knocking on wood, ears burning, spilling salt
  • Most used emojis: 😂 💁‍♀️ 😘
  • First job: Sales associate at The Gap
  • What I like about Effingham County: The strong sense of community — the kind where neighbors are like family and Southern hospitality is alive and well
  • Favorite sports teams: Buffalo Bills and, of course, the Georgia Bulldogs
  • What song always gets me singing (or dancing): I can make up the words to any song. My playlist is all over the place — it just depends on the mood
  • Favorite value in others: Loyalty. I love people who show up for others, no matter what
  • Advice to my teenage self: Don’t worry so much about the future. Trust your gut
  • Talent I’d most like to have: Singing like Adele — or at least remembering where I set my coffee
  • Dream date: A sunset boat ride with good wine, better company and zero cell service
  • Attribute I like best about myself: My heart — it’s big, loyal and fully caffeinated
  • And least: I overthink everything. Even this answer.
  • My hero: My parents — every one of them. They’ve all shaped who I am in their own way
  • Bucket list: Wine and wildflowers tour in South Africa — Stellenbosch vineyards + a safari = heaven
  • My motto: Make it happen. Make it pretty. Make it yours.
