When did you start working at Grace?
January 2016.
Where is your favorite place to eat in Fort Worth?
Depends on what type of food I’m wanting, but I never turn down First Watch, Local Foods Kitchen, Central Market, Potbelly, or any place with good pie.
What is a fun fact about yourself?
I have a twin sister, but if you saw us together you wouldn’t know we were twins!
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I love watching Oklahoma Sooner football, playing board games, cooking, playing the drums, hanging out with my family, taking walks with my husband, and most of all – spending time with my little girl and baby boy!
