Today, she lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with her husband, daughter, and dog. She is a patron of Actor’s Theatre of Louisville and the Humane Society of Kentucky. The family proudly raises funds and advocates for Children’s Hospital Foundation through a group called I Heart Camille, which honors their daughter.

They love all things Disney and try to look for the Magic in life!
