My name is Emily Gibson, Sales Consultant for Twin Lakes Security in Cookeville, TN. Twin Lakes Security is a local security provider for residential and businesses, also offering fire and camera systems. I was born and raised in Byrdstown, TN, where I live with my 5-year-old daughter, Evie, and our 2 fur babies. I am a 2006 graduate of Tennessee Tech - “WINGS UP”! I enjoy Dale Hollow Lake, traveling, and football. GO VOLS! Dolly Parton said it best, “You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.”  

I am an East TN native, Go Vols,  that moved to Cookeville to attend TTU in the summer of 12. I fell in love with the community and it reminded me of the small town I moved from, but it had a lot more activity and community engagement. I ended up staying and opening a business here in town. I love the outdoors and hunting. I married my wife, Morgan, in 2020 and we have enjoyed being a part of the Cookeville community and attend First Baptist Church here.
