Vice president of Mac Con Company and ZanneCo Inc.

WHERE SHE'S BEEN: Stallion, 36, was born in Seoul, South Korea. She was adopted and moved to Fairbanks, Alaska. She now lives in Cape Girardeau, and is engaged to Jay Brewer. She has a dog, Abe, and Prada THE cat. She attended the Mississippi University for Women and is a partner with Keystone Design. And growing up in the construction business, she says, she also attended the school of hard knocks.

WHERE SHE'S GOING: "In five years I will have been working in the construction industry with my father for 18 years! I hope to start at least one more business and to have children without paws to add to my family. My career future plans have been the same simple plan since I started in this industry. Do the best I can every day, be smart enough to recognize what I do not know, learn it, teach it and try to smile! It makes everything easier!

On her work in the community: "We have so many organizations that are trying to accomplish the same positive outcomes but end up competing against each other for donations, resources and volunteers. I would like to help encourage organizations and potential organizations to stop reinventing the wheel for the sake of putting a new name on the same service. We are so blessed in this community to have so many people who want to give; I want the giving to make the maximum impact to those who need it."
