Favorite Book: I loved the “Hunger Games” series.

Favorite meal: Any meal at Great Southern and I also love anything Italian.

Most cherished possession: I cherish the patchwork blanket that grandmother made me when I was little.

Most enjoyed weekend activity: When my kids were little, I loved traveling with them to watch them play soccer or volleyball, but now I love squeezing in a weekend getaway to the beach.

No. 1 vacation spot: Anywhere with a beach. Costa Rica, St. John and St. Lucia are among my faves.

What do you love about living in the 501: I love that so many of my college friends have stayed in the 501 and the sense of community that brings. I love the “small town” feel that Conway has but yet still offers so many diverse dining and shopping options. Conway was a great place to raise my children and they are proud to call the 501 their home!
