Where did you grow up: I was born in Athens, Ga., and moved to Conway when I was 10 years old. I will always be a Georgia Bulldog at heart.

Job: Owner of Berkeley Farm; RN at Baptist Health; group fitness instructor at Glover Fitness.
Parents: Steve and Kelly Burroughs of Conway.
Community activities: I run a small farm and do farm tours for schools, Girl and Boy Scout troops, etc.
Church activities: We recently started attending Second Baptist Church in Greenbrier. We are excited to get more involved.
Hobbies/special interests: Gardening and farming has been a hobby of mine for many years but has recently shifted into more of a business. We raise chickens for eggs and pigs for meat and grow produce to sell. We also do on-farm events and workshops.
How would you describe yourself: I’m pretty quiet until I feel comfortable enough to be myself. I’m also pretty sarcastic.

Most enjoyed weekend activity: Pretty much doing anything outdoors with my family.
What do you enjoy most about the 501: I love the small-town feel Greenbrier has to offer. We have lived here for eight years and the growth has been tremendous in that time, but the community remains very close-knit and welcoming.
