Outside of the office, Dr. Sparks enjoys everything outdoors. Being from a lake town, she has a love for boating, wake surfing, and wake boarding.

When Dr. Sparks and her boyfriend first visited Greenville, they fell in love with the many restaurants and the outdoorsy culture. They travel everywhere with their goldendoodle and enjoy how dog friendly the city is. They are eager to get involved in some of the climbing, hiking, and boating around the area, as well as explore more of what Greenville has to offer.
