What is your favorite memory of Woodford County?
My most recent favorite memory of Woodford County is the parade we just did for Huntertown students after being out of school for the virus. I loved seeing the community rally together for something positive.
What is your least favorite memory of Woodford County?
Being stuck at school on lockdown on my son’s birthday due to Derek Capozzi. We were so scared and we couldn’t leave the school. Evan was wanting so desperately to get home and celebrate his birthday, but we had to release students one by one to make sure they were safe from the prisoner on the loose. A scary couple of days.
What makes you smile?
The small things in life make me smile. A beautiful sunrise/sunset. Hearing those I love to laugh or be happy. I smile when my kitty snuggles close. I smile when my hard work pays off. A smile is the best!

Who do you look up to, and why?
