When she is not doing her part to make Mississippi full of prettier smiles, she is likely starring in theater productions along the Gulf Coast or at MGCCC, traveling with her family, chasing some hole-in-the-wall restaurant that her husband read about, skiing, fishing, scuba diving, training for a marathon, running a marathon, attending a high school or college football game, cheering on the Stone High Pride at the state band competition, filming her daughters at a piano recital, finding homes for stray dogs, singing and playing guitar in the praise band at church, or looking at pictures of dogs doing funny things on the internet. Following her along are her husband, Sean, and two daughters, Nora and Grace Ann.
