She has a degree in Business. She worked at Security Federal Bank as Vice President in the Financial Counseling department as the Community Development Officer. Before coming to the bank, she was the Community Based Outreach Director at the Aiken Canter for Alcohol/and Drug Services, where she worked with Addicted and Recovering Women and their families. It was here working with these families that got her recognized by the Aiken Rotary Club as an “Unsung Hero.” The challenges and joy of working in the field are where she developed her love and compassion for serving women. The challenges of this ministry became a strength for her. For it allowed her to minister and aspiring women from all walks of life while supporting them through their recovery.
