Share some things you enjoy doing in<br />

your spare time.<br />

When you are a parent, your spare time is normally<br />

consumed with your children’s activities. Currently<br />

we are enjoying football and cheer season. My<br />

daughter also competes in pageants, and we are in<br />

full swing with that, preparing for her upcoming<br />

state level Magnolia State Pageant! We also love<br />

football games (Go Rebs!), catching a movie, or<br />

going out to eat together. My husband and I also<br />

participate in a non-profit Medieval re-enactment<br />

group called the Society for Creative Anachronism,<br />

where he participates in armored combat.<br />

So that is always a fun time on the weekends,<br />

being able to get away from the hustle and bustle<br />

of the modern world!<br />

What are three things on your bucket list?<br />

I want to visit every Disney park in the world!<br />

This has been a goal of mine since I was a very<br />

young child. I want to visit Greece and Egypt!<br />

And I’ve always dreamed of moving to England<br />

and restoring a manor home. That’s one of those<br />

deep down bucket list items that is more of a<br />

dream!<br />

Where are your three favorite places<br />

to eat in Rankin County?<br />

Salsa’s in Pearl, Amerigo in Flowood, and Kismet’s<br />

in Brandon!<br />

Who is someone you admire and why?<br />

My mom! She is the one person I have always<br />

looked up to my entire life! She is always so<br />

positive and giving. She taught me not only what<br />

kind of mom I wanted to be, but also how to be a<br />

good human, and how to be proud of the person I<br />

am when I look into the mirror.<br />

Pamela Martin Sutton at Southern Glitz in Pearl<br />

is also someone I look up to. She and her girls at<br />

Southern Glitz are just so amazing and she makes<br />

every single person who walks into her store feel<br />

loved and beautiful! She has such a servant’s heart<br />

for what she does and makes the world a better<br />

and more beautiful place!<br />

Where do you see yourself in ten years?<br />

Hopefully still helping the wonderful patients of<br />

Mississippi at UMMC! I would love to own a<br />

boutique one day here in Rankin County selling<br />

apparel and gifts, so that is definitely a goal I am<br />

working towards now.<br />

What is your favorite childhood memory?<br />

My favorite early childhood memory is definitely<br />

all of my trips to Disney World with my mom and<br />

dad. Those were the times I was the happiest kid<br />

in the world! My favorite older childhood<br />

memories came from my freshman year at Pearl<br />

when we marched in the inaugural parade in<br />

Washington D.C. We got to tour D.C. and visit<br />

the Smithsonian. Later that May, the band went<br />

to Disney World to march in another parade! I<br />

made some of my best lifelong friends in the band,<br />

and those trips were once-in-a-lifetime trips that<br />

created once-in-a-lifetime memories!<br />

If you could give us one encouraging quote,<br />

what would it be?<br />

Let all that you do be done in love.<br />
