Biography
Born and raised in Columbus, Paris found it only fitting to attend The Ohio State University – O-H-I-O! While pursuing her degree, she worked as a contractor for Nationwide Financial. After graduating, she began her professional career at Huntington National Bank and later earned her MBA from Franklin University. She eventually transitioned to a role at The State of Ohio, working with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities.
Since 2019, Paris has served part-time as the Assistant Treasurer for Triedstone Baptist Church—a place that’s always been close to her heart. A lifelong member, she often calls herself a “pew baby.” In this role, she helps manage the church’s finances to support its vision, which includes a wide range of outreach efforts such as providing housing, hosting community events, feeding those in need, and distributing school supplies, clothing, and shoes to children during Back-to-School season.
In addition to her financial responsibilities, Paris is an active member of the church choir and praise team and serves as a youth advisor. Her career in finance and administration has fueled her passion for accounting, bookkeeping, and community outreach.
Outside of her professional and church commitments, Paris enjoys taking motorcycle rides with her husband, playing pool (she’s got some skills!), spending time with their kids, being with family, getting a mani/pedi, reading, trying new restaurants, or simply relaxing and catching up on her favorite shows.
