• 2. Where is your favorite place in the world?

My favorite place in the world is anywhere on a beach with my family and friends, making memories. The Emerald Coast is where we have shared many memories throughout the years.

• 3. What does “Cottonuity” mean to you?

To me, "Cottonuity" means "one company, one team." What we provide to our clients is a service that promotes efficiency with one company that can offer all solutions to bring a business back to its pre-emergency state. For our employees, it means "family" — with the resources and support from the Cotton Team, you can meet and exceed your professional goals with hard work and dedication.

• 4. How does Cotton go above and beyond for our clients?

Cotton creates and builds relationships. Our clients become part of the Cotton community, which we are all proud to be a part of. "No" is not part of Cotton's vocabulary and we will find a way to meet and exceed our client expectations with strong customer service and high-quality performance. We give back to the community through our Cotton Foundation and create partnerships that support Cotton's Core Values of integrity, honesty, high standards and high-quality work performance.

• 5. Tell us something about yourself that might surprise us!

Our home is known to family and friends as "Party Central" and I'm told I should have been a mixologist. No one is allowed behind the bar but me (unless you have special permission) and my tip jar is always full.
