Payton is originally from Roanoke and now calls Christiansburg home. After graduating from Virginia Tech, she fell in love with the New River Valley and decided to stay in the area. She enjoys spending her free time reading, playing board games with friends, and observing wildlife, especially birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
Payton looks forward to putting down even deeper roots in the community by purchasing a home and welcoming pets into her life in the future. At Back to Nature, she enjoys being part of a supportive team and values the opportunity to connect with people throughout the New River Valley every day.
