I was impressed right away by the people-focus at NMR. Working for a company with a supportive, balanced, engaging, people-focused culture was top-priority for me, and I found that right away in NMR.

I love spending time with my husband, Chris, our 2-year old son, Dillon, and our poodle fur baby, Bo. As a mom of a toddler, I love running around with him as he explores the world, but also love “me” time going on nature walks and reading. My husband and I also love designing and renovating homes, and are in the middle of renovating our new home in Huntsville.
