Originally from California, I joined Gather to add a new skill to my resume, but also one that is challenging and rewarding. As a 30-year water professional, it seemed fitting to add some coffee to the mix.

Born on an Air Force base in South Carolina, I was raised in the heart of McCreary County, Kentucky, and have called Scott County, Tennessee home for the past 20 years. Life recently got even sweeter with the arrival of my first grandchild—a precious baby boy who has quickly become the center of my world. When I’m not soaking up time with him, I’m with my loyal 8-year-old fur baby, Piper and my Husband of 15 years. I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter with Gather Coffee, where I look forward to meeting new people and sharing smiles, one cup at a time.

I've been with Gather since July 2022 , supporting daily operations & overseeing our expansion from 2 shops in Scott County to 7 in 3 counties! When I'm not handling training, payroll, or jumping in to whip up a latte, you can find me & Josie Marie exploring warmer climates in the winter, horse or river riding through the Big South Fork, and getting up to shenanigans with my friends. ere
