Why did you get involved with Shelby Farms Park Conservancy? To be a part of the planning process for the park's future and to help get more people involved in enjoying the park's amenities.

What is your favorite place in the Park? Patriot Lake

Other than Shelby Farms Park, what's your favorite place in Memphis? Our museums, the University of Memphis, and the Zumba class at the Schilling Farms YMCA. The museums and the University are wonderful assets for the city, and Zumba gives me Salsa and fun exercise in one activity.

Shelby Farms Park is poised for an exciting future that will involve all sectors of our community. It will be an oasis for diverse people to enjoy common interests. It will be a park of national renown.
