Originally from Rock Island, IL, I moved to Iowa in 2012 and have called it home ever since. My first real step into the marketing world was in 2019 with Mercer, where I discovered my passion for creating impactful and meaningful connections through marketing. I am currently pursuing my MBA at Drake University. Outside of work and studies, I love spending time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes from America’s Test Kitchen. There’s nothing like the joy of trying out a new dish and sharing it with my husband Daniel, and our kids. When I’m not cooking, working, or hitting the books, you’ll find me chasing around our two little ones, Nina (age 3) and Aiden (age 2), often with a Disney movie playing in the background. Those moments of laughter, learning, and connection are what I cherish the most.
