Volunteering / Community Service: Our community is incredibly important to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back in meaningful ways. I currently serve as the Board Chair of the Clinton 4th of July Festival, helping to bring this cherished celebration of our country. Additionally, I am the Vice President of the Curtis Mansion Historical Foundation, working to preserve and share Clinton’ s rich history. As the Clinton LumberKings Host Family Coordinator, I support players and help foster connections between the team and our community. I also serve as the Corresponding Secretary of Sigma Phi Chi Sorority, the oldest chiropractic organization in the world, which has a long-standing tradition of service and professional excellence. My husband and I truly love being involved and making a positive impact in this amazing community we call home.
Favorite aspect of living in Clinton: One of my favorite things to do in Clinton is cheering on the Clinton LumberKings at NelsonCorp Field— there’ s nothing like the energy of a hometown baseball game! I also love running along the scenic riverfront with my friends. The beautiful views of the Mississippi, fresh air, and great company make every run a special experience. Whether it ' s game day excitement or an early morning run, Clinton has so many ways to stay active and connected to the community!
Who is a local mentor of yours and why: A local mentor of mine is Ann Eisenman with Clinton Community College. I aspire to be as kind and engaged as she has been for as long as I have known her. Ann has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel valued— whenever you see her, she greets you with a warm smile and genuinely remembers details about your life, making every conversation meaningful. Her dedication to the community and her kindness inspire me to lead with the same warmth and attentiveness in everything I do.
Professional goals: My entire mission in life is to join people, specifically mamas, in the journey toward healthy changes for themselves and their families. Whether it’ s through my chiropractic office, which focuses on preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and family care, or through health coaching, where I help people create healthy bodies and healthy minds, my goal remains the same. I am deeply passionate about empowering others to take small, sustainable steps toward lifelong wellness. My purpose is to leave this world better than I found it, one family at a time.

How you define leadership: To me a leader demonstrates integrity, empathy, and communicates well with others. A leader welcomes the opportunity to inspire and motivate those they work with. A leader builds strong relationships, recognizing others strengths and delegating tasks accordingly. A leader continually maintains a positive attitude to foster a positive work environment. I strive to grow my leadership skills to benefit our business and our employees.
