I am a girl that loves Jesus, flamingos, & popcorn.

I am a self-proclaimed film nut from the Appalachian foothills of East Tennessee. I actually live very near “Deliverance” country, although I am completely normal, I promise! Growing up in a 1980's Christian household, my childhood cinema consisted of Jim Henson classics, friendly extra terrestrials, friends that journey down a yellow brick road, and pets that multiply if you feed them after midnight. I'm working hard to catch up on cinema and theatre history in my more grown up years. I'm a graduate of the theatre & speech department of University of Tennessee – Chattanooga, where I started the expansion of my cultural palate 😃

My favorite movies these days are just like my music tastes . . . Schizophrenic. I love a good horror movie some days; other days I just want a nice fluffy romantic comedy. And I love Christian films that preach the love and power of Jesus. The best Christian cinema out there right now is I Can Only Imagine, Unbreakable, American Underdog, and The Chosen. Some of her favorites films are Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Sliding Doors, The Wizard of Oz, Attack the Block, and The Quiet Place. I'm an expert in Christian cinema, FRIENDS, Gilmore Girls, Little House on the Prairie, crime dramas, the Scream franchise, the Paranormal Activity trilogy, and love all things James Bond.

Today I'm passing my kooky brand of humor onto my daughter Bonnie, volunteering in my community, and working at St John UMC as the Director of Communications & Media. I study all things social media because it's fascinating to me. There's so much power in the way we connect with other people. If you'd like me to help you take your business or non profit to the next level with social media, just send me a message on your favorite social platform below.

I am a disciple of Jesus & love everyone I meet. I am an active member of the United Methodist Women, and fight for social justice and equality for all. Y'all means all. Love your faces!
