I was born and raised in central Iowa, but moved away long enough to appreciate the midwestern values.
I am a Grand View University graduate, and small business owner in several Des Moines suburbs, so I have a vested interest in seeing the community prosper.
My husband, Andy, and I reside in Johnston. We have four children: Drew (22), Alyx (15), Ryah (13) & JJ (10). We spend a lot of time cheering on the Johnston Dragons & Grand View Vikings.
Hi, I am a Independent Certified Health Coach. My professional career spans wide with 30 years in Corporate America, providing a wide range of experience in the financial, customer service, collections and technology industries.
Today, as I coach lifestyle and transformation, I am passion driven on the success of others creating hope with their health, mindfulness and overall wellbeing. Empowering others with their health is a true blessing in life, to them with the choices they get to make with their life, as well as, making memories with family. Sharing this gift of life is what I do, guiding, supporting and walking the dream of a healthy tomorrow, one day at a time.
I love spending time with family, friends, gardening, outdoor activities and living my best possible life.
