“I grew up watching my Father, Mother and grandparents run Dans Bounty Table, and My Dad being a full time farmer. He later built 4 chicken houses and has raised chickens 15 years of my life and counting. My Mom was a master cosmetologist and of course everyone’s caregiver. I love to take care of my family, and cherish them all and every day we have together. I believe if you do good to others, they will be good to you. I married my husband is 2018 and have 2 sons. In 2022 I became an Aunt and gained a best friend, my nephew. I enjoy weekend coffee dates with my twin sister, and spending time with my family.”
