My life:

My roots are from Louisiana, which I still call home! After an extensive 13 year career at Chick-fil- A (you may remember me from events around the Woodlands) in Sales and Marketing I transitioned to Stitch Fix where I have been currently employed for the past 4 years. When I am not working, you will find me enjoying family, food and fun -- plus traveling when I am able. That's why my health is so important to me and I started my path with Plexus - to be my best self to my husband and son! Low energy, weight gain and lack of sleep were keeping me from being as present as I wanted to be; but after a few short months, I am back in it, living my life to the fullest!
