Born and raised in Goldsboro NC, I have lived here for 47 years. I am married to my husband Anthony. I am a mom to 5 sons and 1 daughter, three of whom are still school-aged and live with us. My other three sons are grown and have recently graduated from college. I have one grandson so far. I own 1st Choice Bail Bonds here in Goldsboro and have been in business since 2003. I also have my Private Investigators Associate License where I work with Prime One Investigations. I have my Associate of Arts from Wake Tech and am looking forward to obtaining my Bachelor of Criminal Justice this year from the University of Mount Olive where I am enrolled. I have served on the Parks and Recreation's Advisory Commission since 2022 which I am now the chair, and in March I graduated from the City of Goldsboro’s Citizen Academy. I volunteer extensively with The Tommy’s Foundation where we are doing our best to help the unhoused and people struggling with addiction in our community. Moving forward, I am interested in partnering with people to develop programs and activities to give our youth choices and chances.
