“I grew up in Pensacola, and graduating from Southern Methodist University with a BBA in Marketing and a BA in Sociology, I began career in Marketing working in both New York, NY and Dallas, TX. In 2018, I was thrilled to move back to my hometown to begin working alongside my parents, John and Susan O’Connor. Currently serving as President of JW Restaurant Group Inc., I oversee operational activities of nine McDonald’s restaurants in the Pensacola area. I am eager to carry on my parents’ commitment to our community and am thrilled to be a part of the Pensacola State College Foundation Board. I firmly believe that lives can be changed through access to affordable, quality education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and spending time with my husband and our daughter, Katherine, and am passionate about traveling, food, and college football.”
