The Echo Mill Board of Directors is committed to protecting the value of every home while fostering a well-maintained, welcoming community where residents are proud to live.

The Echo Mill Board of Directors works on behalf of every homeowner to protect and strengthen the community we all share.

Our mission is to preserve property values, maintain the beauty of the neighborhood, and support a welcoming environment where residents are proud to live.

The Board serves the community by focusing on a few core responsibilities:

• Protecting property values by upholding community standards
• Maintaining neighborhood amenities and common areas so they remain safe, attractive, and enjoyable
• Establishing and enforcing community guidelines that promote fairness and consistency
• Managing association finances responsibly, including the collection and proper use of assessments
• Maintaining appropriate insurance coverage to protect community assets
• Keeping residents informed through clear and timely communication
  Every decision made by the Board is guided by a commitment to responsible stewardship, transparency, and long-term community success.

Together, these efforts help ensure Echo Mill remains a beautiful, well-maintained neighborhood where homeowners can feel confident in the strength and value of their investment.

I grew up in neighboring Paulding county. I have a history degree from UGA and have spent 20+ years working in risk management and due diligence first for LexisNexis and currently for PricewaterhouseCoopers. My husband and I moved into Echo Mill in 2019. Because of our dogs, elementary age kids and active lifestyle we take advantage of and enjoy many of Echo Mill amenities, so I feel it is important that I do my part to continue to make this community fun, friendly and safe for all our residents from young to teens to busy working adults to retirees.

Hi! I’ve been a Georgia resident since 1998, and in 2020, my husband Reginal and I, along with our children Kyan and Karis, moved to Echo Mill. With an M.B.A. in Marketing from Mercer University and a B.A. in Psychology from The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, I bring over 25 years of marketing experience to our board, currently working for Optum.

I’m passionate about promoting inclusivity and ensuring that everyone feels heard and respected. As a board member, my goal is to be the change I want to see, balancing the importance of maintaining high property values and mitigating risks with the need for common-sense neighbor relations. I aim to build an authentic sense of community where interactions are genuine and every voice is valued.

Looking forward to working together to make Echo Mill an even better place to live.
