(What you won’t find on social media … even if you are approved as a friend)

• Born: Selma, Alabama
• Status: Happily single
• Alma mater: Dallas County High School
• What’s on TV: TV is more like background noise in my house. Right now it’s "Gone" with Amanda Seyfried or any of the other thriller programs I’ve seen a million times.
• Most spontaneous thing I have ever done: I’ve always been a spontaneous person, so it’s hard to narrow it down. I used to make a habit of waking up at 3 a.m., getting my daughter out of bed, hitching us up to the camper, and heading off to Gulf Shores, Alabama, whenever I felt like it.
• What I drive: A red Hyundai
• Favorite movie: I have several, but "Jaws" takes the cake every time.
• Something you would never guess about me: That I’m shy! I’m always fine on the outside, but most of the time I’d rather keep to myself.
• Actress that would play me in a movie: Helen Mirren
• Favorite thing in my closet: My accessories. I love dressing up in a good outfit with some jewelry or a nice hat. You wouldn’t believe how many hat boxes I have.
• Favorite movie snack: An orange — I eat them all the time. Or maybe a watermelon!
• App I can’t live without (no judgment): Google. I hate not knowing things. If it crosses my mind, I’m going to look it up.
• Worst habit: My friends and family say I’m definitely a workaholic.
• Weirdest thing in my fridge: Does a fresh-cut watermelon count?
• On my office walls: I’m not one to have a whole lot of decorations, but I really love my painting of the “Painted Ladies” houses in Seaside, Florida, that hangs on my wall.
• One person you’d love to cook for: Everybody! I just love to cook for people in general.
• Favorite go-to comfort food: Saltine crackers have never let me down.
• First thing I do in the morning: Brush my teeth and then go feed the cats.
• Pet I’d have if anything was possible: A lion, because they’re just a big ol’ cat.
• First job: A paint and wallpaper store in Selma.
• What I like about Effingham County: The people, of course. I moved here in 2013, and I feel like the people of Springfield and beyond just accepted me into their lives with such open arms.
• Snack I can never say no to: Fruit
• Favorite sports team: 49ers, or whatever my family is watching
• What song always gets me dancing: "Tennessee Whiskey" — can’t help but sway along.
• Favorite value in others: Morals and manners. It’s priceless to have nowadays.
• Advice I’d give my teenage self: Keep your head up. There’s so much more to life than this.
• Talent I’d most like to have: Playing the piano
• Dream date: Whisk me away on a plane to Paris, take me to breakfast, and have me back home all within the day.
• Attribute I like best about myself: It makes me happy to care for others.
• My hero: My Booboo, my aunt who helped raise me. She was a unique Christian woman, and I learned a lot from her.
• My bucket list: I’ve always wanted to go to San Francisco and see the Golden Gate Bridge and Napa Valley.
• My motto: I’m a big fan of the Golden Rule. I treat you how I want to be treated and vice versa.
