I was born and raised in Des Moines. I graduated from Carlisle High School in 2001. I continued my education at Des Moines Area Community College and finished my degree at William Penn majoring in Business Leadership. In 2003, I went on to work taking care of intellectually disabled adults in a 24-hour care facility until August 2016. I worked my way up to running an entire group home as the Program Coordinator, directly responsible for four clients and eight staff. In August 2016, I became a full-time professional real estate agent. I love what I do and love helping my clients through this amazing journey.
