About Me
I'm not a Fort Smith native, but have been here for 3 years and this region is home, and I want nothing more than for the city and region to prosper! I grew up in a small town of Cove, AR, but have familly all over Texas and throughout the county! I've played sports all my life from elementary to college, and I have even worked for a professional baseball team! When I moved to Fort Smith, I worked for the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce and met tons of interesting people! During my time at the Chamber, I developed strong ties to the city and the region, and want to help this community realize some of it's potential! So I was more than willing to help the 10 other amazing young professionals that the Chamber charged with creating a young professionals network for the region. Currently I am the vice-chair of YEL and now I work at the Univeristy of Arkansas - Fort Smith in the Student Activities Department. When I'm not working or taking part in YEL activities, my husband, John and I have fun travelling, boating, playing sports, and generally doing things outdoors! Occupation
Leadership Development Coordinator for the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith
