Favorite music album & why? Fleetwood Mac 1975 or Rumors, everyone thinks Taylor Swift is the best for these songs about her exes, but Stevie would write them and make them sing them with her. True Legend. Seriously though the album is amazing.

An embarrassing moment? When I learned that taxidermists in fact do NOT do peoples taxes.

Have you ever seen or heard a ghost? 100%

Best memory while working at FWH? I would say being on the podcast, but the haters keep me from doing it. JK. Probably when Davin fell down the stairs, the first time though because by the third time I knew what the noise was.

What do you love most about working at FWH? It’s not what you expect when you think of a law firm. It feels like people just trying to help people. The attorneys care about you and want to help you any way they can.

Favorite music album & why? BonJovi’s Slippery When Wet Album. They were the popular rock band during my teenage years, back in the 80’s. My friends and I would drive around Wesleyan Park Plaza multiple times every Friday and Saturday night with that cassette blaring! We knew every word to every song… fun times!

Dumbest decision you’ve ever made & what would you have done differently? My husband and I were dating. We borrowed a luggage carrier for my Tahoe to go on vacation. He attached it to the top the day before. I had to pick up something at his house while he was working. I was in a hurry, and it was raining. I didn’t want to get my hair wet, so I quickly pulled into his garage, crushing the carrier! We then went to Sears and bought a new one.

An embarrassing moment? We were at French Lick for a Bachelor/Bachelorette party for my nephew and his fiancé. I called his fiancé by his ex-wife’s name!

What’s your greatest fear & why? Snakes! If anyone talks about them or I see one, I fear they will get into my bed sheets. I will check the sheets before getting into bed.

Why would you recommend FWH to a friend or family member? The attorney’s and staff are committed to treating clients with respect while focusing on providing justice.

Favorite film and why? If I said a film I wrote and produced titled New Fears Eve would that be shameless?

Do you believe in Bigfoot? Yes. I’ve never seen a Bigfoot but it’s just an animal, and new large mammals are discovered all the time. I don’t see why this is considered too farfetched.

What’s your greatest fear & why? It used to be dying and then I got saved. Now it’s less about dying and more about how I die. Will is be insanely painful and gruesome? Yikes.

Have you ever seen or heard a ghost? Absolutely. I’ve seen ghosts my whole life starting when I was about eight. I had a panic attack in 2012 and got placed on anxiety meds and since then I don’t see or experience them as often. So, either it has stifled my sixth sense or I was just crazy the whole time. I suppose either one is a logical explanation.

What is something our firm does for the community & why is that important? We get involved to change lives for the better. Not just from a professional standpoint with clients who’ve been injured, going through divorce, need a will and the like. We’re at local sporting events, helped build low-cost housing, put on blood drives, and even donated our time and resources to produce videos for non-profits free of charge. It’s about being there when those in need require it the most and we provide that in spades.

Favorite music album & why? Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’. Their MTV Unplugged Episode is my favorite of all time. Kurt Kobain was either brilliant or disturbed but was excellent at telling stories through music.

Do you believe in Bigfoot? Why or why not? It’s a NO for me! That show “ Finding Bigfoot”, I don’t remember one episode where Bigfoot was found.

What’s your greatest fear & why? Ironically being in a car accident. There is such a broad spectrum of what could happen. I think it is just a fear of the unknown and the possibility of extensive injury.

Favorite food & why? Homemade Butterscotch Pie. I don’t get to have these anymore because my grandmother was the only one who could make them in our family. She didn’t teach anyone in the family how to make them before she left us. If anyone out there knows how to make them, please hit me up. I’m talking butter and brown sugar in a pan on the stove top to make the pie filling, NOT butterscotch pudding in a graham cracker crust! Yuck!

What do you love most about working at FWH? This is truly a phenomenal group of people to work with. They take pride in what they do. They strive to be the best at serving their community and clients.

What’s your Favorite Film?
Goodfellas. Any old mob movies are interesting to me.

Do you believe in Bigfoot?
Yeah, I believe in Bigfoot! Have you not seen the pictures!?

What’s the dumbest decision you’ve ever made?
I decided to take a class at WKU that was about Gandhi because I thought it would be easy…. I was in that class for about 3 days before I realized it wasn’t what I thought.

What is your greatest fear?
Scary movies. I don’t see the point in them, and I will be the person that screams out loud in the theater.

What sets FWH apart from other law firms?
I think the consistent effort to not only provide the best quality of representation for clients but also in the community through various events or sponsorships. I think it is easy for people to do it one time and say that they were a part of it but to continue to do it year after year it’s what sets us apart.
