What is your favorite memory with
Georgia Spa Company?
My favorite memory is creating a Mardi Gras TikTok with my co-worker,
Catherine. It was a lot of fun, and we could not stop laughing.
Why did you want to work for Georgia Spa Company?
I wanted to work for Georgia Spa Company
because when I walked in, I felt relaxed and welcome. I saw the positive energy
that was given off by the employees and I told myself, "This is where I want
to be."

My first real job was at Zaxby's. I was a cashier and would also help
out in the kitchen.
What's your favorite hot tub and why?
My favorite hot tub is the Vanguard in the Hot Spring Highlife
collection. I prefer open seating, and this hot tub has two Moto
Massage seats that help with back pain and relaxation.
Where do you like to
vacation/travel and why?
I love to take vacations in the mountains. It is so peaceful and
relaxing. Nature is a great place to take your mind off of life.
If you had to eat one meal,
every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Spaghetti! This has always been my favorite meal, and I could never get
sick of it.

left on your bucket list?
I want to travel throughout Europe, take a road trip to Las Vegas, and
go back to school at some point to finish my Bachelor of the Arts and
Psychology degree.
What is a TV show you like to
re-watch a lot?
Criminal Minds is a show that I have watched over and over, and I will
probably watch it a few times again. I love the anticipation and excitement
that comes with watching that show.
What is your hidden talent?
This is a strange hidden talent, but I am able to cross one eye.

sports team?
My husband got me into wrestling. There is not a specific team for
them, but I love Rhea Ripley, Rey Mysterio, and Drew McIntyre.

My favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas.
What is the best advice you've
ever gotten?
"Do not be afraid to be yourself."

your 13-year-old self?
I would tell my younger self to not be afraid of failing, and to keep
pushing forward, even if there is a lot of doubt.
What is your favorite song
lyric?
"I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old. He took my mom
out to a movie and for once I got to go." This is from Brad Paisley's song He Didn't Have to Be, and it's the song that I chose
for the father-daughter dance at my wedding.
Have you ever won any awards?
Although I was not a teacher, just
a volunteer, I won "Teacher of the Week" at a middle school in 2019. I had
painted a mural in the bathroom for the students who were physically disabled.
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
I would pay off my student loans
debts.
If you could choose anyone, who would you pick as your mentor?
My mentor has always been my
mother. She has gone through so much in her life, and has tried so hard to make
sure that me and my siblings have had everything she didn't. There is a lot
that I have taken from her that has helped me get to where I am today, and
where I will be in 5 years.
Any favorite line from a movie?
"Money will come and go. We all know that. The most important
thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right
now." It's from Fast Five.
