Where do you get your news? I listen to the radio on the way to work, and also from the Internet.

What brought you to the Yuba-Sutter area? I graduated from Yuba City High School, moved away, then came back. We took over the tax business from my husband's grandfather.

What do you like about the Yuba-Sutter area? The small-town atmosphere. I'm not a city girl.

What is the closest you've been to a famous person? When Natalie Grant gave a free concert at Crossroads Community Church. My husband and I talked to her.

Who has had a strong influence in your life? God — he gets me through the tough times.

Do you have a favorite memory to share? The summer trip we took to the redwoods with my husband's mother before she passed away.
