Interesting Facts:
My husband, George, and I have 2 fantastic kids, Ashlyn and Ethan. We live on a 23 acre farm outside of Gainesville complete with donkeys and goats.
In the past, I served as an adjunct instructor for the College of Health and Human Performance, teaching a graduate level course in Facility Planning, Maintenance and Management.
I started as an O'Connell Center Student Staff member in the summer of 1994. As a student, I worked as part of the office staff and in all aspects of event operations, including ushering, security, set and clean up, but my focus was the technical division. I served as the assistant tech director for 2 years and sat at the helm for 2 weeks before joining the full-time staff in January 1998.
