What kind of pets do you have? Tell us about them!
I have 3 rescue cats! Lucy & Ricky are sister & brother from same outdoor litter, and 9.5 years old. Lulu is 10.5 and I rescued her from my mother who had dementia & sadly was not treating her well. Lulu was VERY aggressive, but we have worked together to overcome all her fears and she is now a sweet, loving kitty.
Where are you originally from? What brought you to Jacksonville?
I grew up in middle TN, outside of Nashville, in Murfreesboro. Went to college for 2 years at Mississippi State University & did not fit into the culture well, so transferred to Univ of Tenn, Knoxville and finished up there. After graduating, I stayed in Knoxville and worked for a few years, then followed a good chunk of my Family to Jacksonville, FL.
Do you have another job? Tell us what you do!
I am currently on a Career Sabbatical and focusing on some personal & professional development that will help me discover a new direction for the next 20 years!
If you could be any animal in the world, what would you be and why?
I would come back as one of my cats in a different life, because I know I would be loved, well fed, and free to roam!!
An interesting fact about yourself:
I used to work in the music industry in my early 20's and have a couple of cool celebrity stories.

What is something you've been acknowledged for in the past or something cool that you have been a part of?
Having worked at a very stressful Corporate job at an average 50 hours per week for 18+ years straight, with no more than 1 week off at a time, I didn't have energy for much outside of the job as I live alone and don't have a support network. So I am excited to finally have a job that is stress free and allows me to have some time to myself for some serious soul searching. Also, I have a great sense of humor.
