How have you benefited from being an Ambassador- or comment about your experience - Why are you an Ambassador?:  I have absolutely enjoyed serving as an ambassador and most recently a team lead. I have gotten to know so many business owners in the McKinney community and have seen how its people really do take care of each other. I have made so many significant connections and great friends and cannot wait to serve as the 2021 Chair Elect for the Ambassador Program!

Tell us about your involvement in the community: I am also on the steering committee of the Women's Alliance of McKinney. I will be the Membership Lead for 2022. I am a member of First McKinney Baptist Church and serve on the Care Team Lead for my Lifegroup. I also serve on the guest services team and in the First McKinney Nursery.

What are your hobbies?  I love hiking (just kidding- don't put that as I recently injured my leg hiking) - I LOVE flower arranging, testing out new recipes, baking cookies, teaching terrarium building classes and trying new coffee shops.

Tell us a little about you and your family:  I have been married to my husband, Dan, for 6 1/2 years. We met in Denver, CO where we both lived for 8 years before moving to McKinney in 2018. Dan is a landscape designer for Calloway Nurseries. Our beautiful daughter, Eloise, is 2 1/2 years old.
