I am honored to be a part of this wonderful community and I am very thankful for the members that support this chamber. For those of you that

A native of Paris, KY, I moved to Lyon County five years ago. My husband, Jason and myself reside on our farm on beautiful Lake Barkley with our son Landon. I have served as a volunteer Firefighter for both Eddyville and Kuttawa Fire Departments. I have worked numerous emergencies along with natural disasters. I have seen and assisted the community members during difficult times. Although I will continue to serve on both Fire Departments, in my new role as Lake Barkley Chamber Executive Director, I am extremely thrilled to serve this community during the exciting times of growth and not just tragedy.
I am honored to welcome you to our beautiful slice of paradise!
