Describe your typical Bulldog game day: We always have lunch at the Taco Stand before visiting various tailgate parties. On the way to the stadium, we stop by the Seiler’s car to visit Uga and at most games we meet friends on the 50-yard line during halftime. At some point my husband manages to swing by The Grill for a chocolate milkshake.

Who inspires you? I have always been inspired by women that have championed causes for families, health care and our communities, but currently I am so moved by the smart young women that I have met in the past couple of years that are balancing successful careers with child-rearing responsibilities – their talent, energy and humor inspire me.
