Bari Douglas
Bari is originally a native of Allen, but moved away before she started school and lived most of her life in the tiny town of Glen Rose. She recently moved back to Collin County and resides in Wylie with her son, Carter. Bari is a working, single-mother and is passionate about women supporting women, especially other single moms. She works full time from home as a mortgage loan processor. In her freetime, you’ll catch Bari going for a run at the park, hitting up some shopping in West Plano, going for a long stroll through Central Market, or cheering on Kyler Murray (A-Up, Eagles!) and the Arizona Cardinals, if it’s football season.
