What do you love most about living and working in Huntsville?

I’ve lived in Huntsville my entire life, and I love the strong sense of community that makes it feel like a small town! The city’s expansion, particularly in the defense industry, has provided exciting opportunities for me to advance my career while contributing to a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

What’s your best advice for starting a career in the Rocket City?

My best advice for starting a career in the Rocket City is to actively network with others and stay open to any opportunity that comes your way. With Huntsville’s rapid growth, there are endless possibilities for both personal and professional development!

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

I enjoy many hobbies, from staying active and spending quality time with family and friends to improving my very beginner golf skills, all thanks to my fiancé, Jackson! It’s been a fun and rewarding experience to learn something new.

How do you like to give back to the community, and why is it important to you?

I enjoy giving back to the community through various opportunities provided by my company’s Corporate Social Responsibility group, such as volunteering with Kids to Love, Free 2 Teach, and more. It’s important to me because I truly feel like I’m making a meaningful impact in people’s lives!

Where is your favorite place to relax in Huntsville?

My favorite place to relax in Huntsville is at my bay window in Jones Valley, where I curl up with my fur baby, Polly, and enjoy the view. I don’t get much downtime, but when I do, there’s nothing better than reading an actual book—one with real pages—and savoring that comforting smell of paper!
