Personal Life
Autumn calls Winston-Salem home with her sweet husband, daughter, and calico tabby. When she is not wearing her counselor hat, she enjoys laughing with her funny husband, chasing her busy daughter, and making memories with her friends and family. Autumn is in her happy place when she has a cup of coffee or milkshake in hand, listening to true crime podcasts or 2000s music, and can sneak in a good nap. She loves using her curious mind to learn more about the world around her, whether it is about a person's life, what the greatest hit was in 1992, or how to make a cake from scratch.
