As the Executive Vice President for the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and the Conway Development Corporation, I have been leading the communication, publication, and government relations efforts for the past 12.5 years. I have also been involved in strategic initiatives such as Conway125 and Conway2035, which aim to enhance the quality of life and economic opportunities in our community. I have a strong background in economic development, infrastructure, state and local government, public relations, and B2C marketing. I have helped create high-paying jobs, attract and retain businesses, and build over $100 million in job-creating infrastructure. I have a bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Central Arkansas, and I am a Certified Chamber Executive by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives. I am passionate about making Conway and Faulkner County a preferred location for growth and innovation.
