She enjoys spending quality time with her family (and bossing her boys around 🤣), managing a busy household, and engaging actively in her church. Nissy also loves hosting and feeding family and friends, finding joy in the fellowship and community it brings.

For her charitable contribution, Nissy has chosen to support New Beginnings Life Ministries, an organization that reflects her passion for helping others and giving back to the community.
