Describe your role at SAGA:
I’m the Senior Accountant at SAGA, and I am in charge of consolidating and reconciling nearly 20 different partnership and subsidiary financial statements, I process SAGA’s construction draws, home insurance, payroll tax filings, credit cards, bank statements, and rental house income.

Best part of your job:
My favorite part is probably processing the payroll for Masala Bay (the partner owned restaurant) because sometimes I’m lucky enough to get a free AMAZING lunch!

Tell us something interesting about your self your coworkers probably don’t know: They probably don’t know that I’m a closet thrill-seeker and have been skydiving….twice! Love roller coasters, scuba diving, and about to go parasailing this June!

Favorite holiday:
I would say Christmas is my favorite. Love being around family, baking up a storm, and thinking about the approaching new year.

Favorite color: Green

Favorite food: Oh too hard! Lasagna, or a good curry, or chocolate!

What’s on your list of things to do outside now that the weather has warmed up? Plant more tomatoes & squash in our garden.

First concert attended:
I can never remember if my first was the ABBA cover band or the DC Talk & Audio Adrenaline concert. Quite a stark difference, Haha!

Favorite place to visit:
It used to be the Outer Banks, but now I live here!

Last book you read:
The Magician’s Nephew – I’ve been reading the Chronicles of Narnia with our kids each night.

What are you passionate about? Real Estate….whenever my husband and I are ready to buy a new property, I get so excited. I love shopping what’s on the market and thinking of what we can do with fixer uppers.

Favorite family tradition: I loved camping every summer growing up. Being outside, hiking, biking, campfires, and enjoying the peace & quiet.

Where would you love to visit but haven’t been yet? I love tropical beaches, have always wanted to go to Bali and have recently heard amazing things about Eleuthera.

Do you have a special talent no one knows about? Not many people know that I’m a fairly handy carpenter. Currently wrapping up a 7 ft entertainment center with mini barn doors. I learned a lot of it from my husband!

 Why did you choose to call the Outer Banks “home”? My family grew up vacationing here since before I was born, so its always had a fond place in my heart. My husband and I got married on the beach in Corolla, we bought a vacation home 3 years back, then decided we wanted to be here full time.

What do you like most about the area or about living here? I love the warm beaches of the Outer Banks and small-town family focus. The community here has been amazing and very welcoming.
