"I have lived in the Augusta, Georgia area since 1997, where I am a District Sales Manager for Avon Products, Inc. My district has over 330 representatives, all of whom I stay in contact with regarding sales and incentives, as well as conducting training and sales meetings. I have an office in my home and also feel like I work out of my car most of the time! I do travel occasionally for work, having been to NYC, Dallas, and Newark, Delaware in 2007 for conferences and training. My position also takes me throughout the Division in Georgia & South Carolina.

My daughter, Bethanny, is 18 and is enrolled at Georgia Military College. She has a daughter, Rhyleigh, born on June 25, 2007, who is SO precious. Yes, even in adversity there are blessings.

My son, Justin, is 11, and very athletic. He plays sports nearly year around with the local recreation department, usually baseball twice a year and basketball one season. He has in the past also played soccer, football and golf. He began a Leadership Program in taekwondo a year ago and his current rank is brown belt decided. In the past few years he has also participated in the school chorus as well as 4-H Club. Justin is in 6th grade and just joined the school band, where is he learning to play the trombone. He is an A - B Honor Roll student, capable of all A's if he put forth just a bit of effort.

In the free time I do have, I attend all games and practices for Justin's sports activities and also enjoy spending time with Bethanny and Rhyleigh. I still like to swim and recently re-joined the Family Y so I could take advantage of their indoor pool.

My main other hobby is reading. I do enjoy photography and scrapbooking when I have time, and also very much enjoy the occasional girls night out for a drink and socializing. I hardly ever turn on the television anymore...I think the only times I've watched in the last 6 - 8 months have been when Justin has asked me to watch a baseball or football game with him.

I don't get to go back "home" to Ocala to visit very often anymore, just a few times a year. My sisters are all still in that area & I'd like to be able to make more time to see them and their families.

My absolute favorite place to travel is the beach...any beach. In the past few years, I have enjoyed numerous beach trips to Edisto Island, SC, Hilton Head Island, SC, Jekyll Island, GA and St. Augustine Beach, FL. There are many more beach destinations on my list...and hopefully one day I'll get to visit them all."
