Personal
I grew up on a small family farm in Southwest Iowa where I was active in sports, church, 4-H and studied abroad in Argentina. These experiences shaped my values of hard work, community, discovery, and growth. After college, I moved to the Des Moines area where I live with my husband Bradd. Together, we share the joy and adventure of raising our seven children in a blended family, supporting them in academics, athletics, and life.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, whether biking, traveling internationally, or exploring in our old, renovated Airstream. For me, life is about creating meaningful connections and embracing adventures along the way.
