Courtney was born in Columbus Mississippi and moved to South Carolina at 6 years of age and has been here ever since. Courtney is married with 2 children, Mason 4 and Maddilyn 2. When not working, she enjoys being outside, playing with her children, going on trips, hiking, and anything that has to do with water or plants. Courtney was around 7 years old when a dog was hit in the middle of the road, so she went out to the road, picked up the injured dog, took him to the vet, and that’s when she discovered she wanted to help animals in need for the rest of her life. (She still has that dog she saved; his name is Drako.) [citation]
