What’s the best thing that happened to you this week, either at work or outside of work?
I gave two presentations at work this week and didn't pass out from nerves! It does help when you have a handsome model standing next to you to model your projects. Maybe that was the key to my presentation success?

Hands down Topsail Island for sure. There is nothing like waking up to the ocean every morning but the best part was having the opportunity to spend the day on the ocean to catch the biggest fish ever!

What is the one thing you wish you’d known 20 years ago?
STRUGGLE IS GOOD.

What one device can you not live without?
My flat iron for sure. This hair is a hot mess if it isn't tamed down with a flat iron. You thought I was going to say my iPhone - HA!

My three kids - Nevin (17 yrs.) Kyleigh (13 yrs.) and Kellin (7 years).
