Fun Fact: I represented my school in the Calhoun County Spelling Bee in 1969 and lost on the word “beauteous” with only 11 of 64 contestants remaining. I skipped school only one time but with permission from the principle. I enjoy hiking rocky, rugged trails in forests and parks.
Goals: To receive a degree in landscape design at Jefferson State and to travel and see plants and gardens all over the United States and abroad.
