I grew up on a small cattle & grain farm in Pickaway County just outside of Circleville.  In 2009, I graduated from Logan Elm High School and went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Ag Science from Wilmington College in 2013.  4H and FFA were a big aspect of my life during these years. Soccer was also an important activity in my life during high school & college.  I love the sport, competitiveness, and the lessons it taught me along the way.  After school, I married my husband Chris, of 9 years now and we have 2 beautiful children, Aiden (9) & Avery (6).  We live in Ross County in the Village of Frankfort and our kids attend Adena Elementary.  We love to spend time with our extended family every chance we get and enjoy camping, hunting, and supporting our kids at 4H & sporting events.

   I am a lender with Kingston National Bank in South Bloomfield, OH.  We are always looking for ways to grow as leaders within our communities and contribute back by serving in many ways.  I have been with the bank for 2 years and prior to that I was at Farm Credit Mid-America for just over 5 years.  Although I live in Ross County, I have had the privilege to work in Pickaway County throughout my adult career so far.  I am still learning new things about the county every day and I have witnessed so much growth that is both scary, and exciting.  I joined the Fellows program to help us navigate these scary & exciting times, build lasting relationships and get a better understanding of what leadership looks like at a higher level.  In 2023, I had the opportunity to complete the Leadership Pickaway program where I got an inside look at how our local community and government officials work.  This program gave me more of an understanding on how our county operates on a large scale behind the scenes.  It was inspiring to see all the interrelationships it takes to ensure Pickaway County remains a sufficient and desirable place to live. I personally loved all the connections I was able to make by going through this program with many other leaders in our community.   I hope to continue making these long-term relationships as I complete the Fellows program and grow as a leader in our community.
