My greatest successes have been: I am blessed to work
with my team alongside hundreds of small businesses and
many talented artists in a joint effort to constantly improve our community. This team works hard to bring awards and national recognition to this small town. Together with its many partners, this organization has won the community the Great American Main Street Award, among others. When we succeed, we succeed together.
What’s something interesting about you that not many people know? I have a twin sister, Ceclia Dobbs Walton, with a similar career in our sister city of Biloxi. Together we accomplish a lot for our communities and together are able to support One Coast efforts.
Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career?
My love for connecting with others and communicating started when I was young by writing short stories. After winning a contest one year, I was inspired to keep writing. As I got older, my dad motivated me to pursue a career in communications, and to learn all I can along the way. His encouragement led me to where I am today, connecting our Ocean Springs community on all levels.

Every day at the Women’s Resource Center, we see wonderful ladies who find themselves in unexpected pregnancies. We try to follow the example of Jesus by loving them unconditionally in a non-judgmental way. We provide real answers, tangible resources, and educational opportunities to ensure healthy pregnancies, which leads to healthy children and families.
