      Lyon County is home of thousands of visitors each summer. From playing a round of golf on our beautiful course, boating on the lakes, staying at one of our many campgrounds, dinning at the most delicious restaurants, listening to live music from local bands, or making a splash at the water park, we have something for everyone and love to watch our communities thrive by working together.

      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!
