Bio/Quarterra Accolades:

I am a true Texan, love the heat and love living in Texas. Although, as an Army Brat I was born in Germany but since I was a toddler Texas has been my home - growing up and attending high school and college in West Ft Worth. I have been in an accounting role of some sort since I was 20 years old with most of my background in oil and gas.

I have been blessed to manage many people over the past 15 years and strive to help each and everyone of them grow. That’s something truly special to me especially as I see many of them now serving as managers and thriving.

I am a proud mother of two beautiful daughters (both are educators) and recently became a Grandmother – JOY OF MY LIFE! Year 2022 was an exciting year for me as I married my husband, JR and we welcomed our first granddaughter, Quinn.

I love to travel, eat, drink Champagne and be merry - most recently, since meeting JR, that means on the back of a Harley (which I would have never imagined) but we have a blast and I have seen so much beautiful country and laughed the whole time doing so!

I hope to flourish and be here as a productive member of the Quarterra team for a long time!
