My passion for youth and livestock drives me to volunteer in Carroll County as 4H leader and fair board treasurer. I was named to the Carroll County 4H and FFA Fair Hall of Fame in 2022 and was Carroll County 4H Volunteer of the Year in 2021. I am also a youth advisor to the Maryland Junior Hereford Association. I love to work with kids that are building life skills to be future leaders.

People should bank with our community bank because we are involved in the community. We know our customers because we live and work along side them. It is kind of like Cheers “Where everybody knows your name.” We make you feel welcome.

The family owned places are my favorite! To name a few in Carroll County are Bullock’s Family Restaurant, Buttersburg Inn, Lucy’s Little Red Wagon and The Flood Zone.
