Born:   August 21

Experience:
In 2005, SCN was recognized through the "Agency of the Year" award by area law enforcement and by the University of Georgia for Outstanding Service to the UGA and Athens communities for the more than 7,000 volunteer hours spent to educate students on safety issues. SCN was also commended by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for hard work and dedication to highway safety issues through their publications and programs.

Favorite things to do:
Spending time with my children, working outdoors, and working with all the unique individuals that volunteer to make a difference in our community.

Why are you involved with SCN?
I believe that everyone has a responsibility to do something to make someone else's life a little better.  I know how many close calls I had when I was in college because of unsafe decisions that my friends and I made, but thankfully I was one of the lucky ones.  My position at Safe Campuses Now allows me the opportunity to help high school and college students enjoy themselves while also be safe.
