What led you to this particular path in business?
I entered the telecom industry over a decade ago, thanks to my father and godfather. It’s led to amazing relationships and opportunities. As one of the few women owners in telecom, I feel fortunate to mentor incredible women and introduce tech to those who might have felt it was out of reach.
How are you involved in the community?
I serve on several boards, including Children’s Aid Society of Alabama and Bayshore Christian School Foundation Board. My husband and I founded the BCH Classic Golf Tournament benefiting adoption. All proceeds go to Children’s Aid Society of Alabama APAC program which is where we adopted our first son Brian. I am also a member of Sertoma Club, a member of Hatch Fairhope, an investor for Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance and a member of Coastal Church in Daphne where I serve.
