At five years old, Lee sang her first solo in church.  With her cousin Steve joining her on the chorus of 'Learning to Lean' for support, Lee's butterflies took flight and she was bit by the performance bug!  Lee grew up singing in the church choir, in show choirs, talent shows and pageants.

Today, Lee sings every chance she gets.  Music is her true love!  But in addition to singing, lee's job keeps her pretty busy!  She is an Emmy nominated journalist who anchors the morning and noon news for WAFF 48 News, the NBC affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama and for WDRM radio.

Lee's job as a journalist is to report the facts, but it is her passion as a former foster/adopted child to be the voice for Waiting Children.

She is the founder of the 'Kids to Love' Foundation, a non-profit agency that meets the needs of foster and adoptive children.  Her 'Kids to Love' Program on WAFF 48 News has introduced 165 foster children that need forever families, out of 165 - 135 have found forever families! 

Lee not only tells the stories that will make a difference, she takes action!  When Lee found out children in foster care have to move their things in black garbage bags because they don't have suitcases, she challenged viewers across Northern Alabama and Southern Tennessee to help.  The goal was 1,000 suitcases… 4,000 plus were collected.

'Kids to Love' is not just another story to Lee, it's her heart.  As a former foster child herself, Lee feels blessed that she was placed with a forever family early in her life.  It's her desire that she will be the voice for other foster children so they can have stability, love and possibilities that children have through adoption - a forever family.

Lee believes in giving back, adopted through the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home in Memphis, Lee has organized a benefit concert "Tribute to the Children".  In the last 2 years the event has raised more than $46,000 for foster and adoptive children.

Lee recently received National Recognition in Washington, D.C. for her adoption awareness efforts.  She received an Adoption Excellence award from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Originally from South Fulton, Tennessee, Lee and her husband Jeff now call Huntsville home.
