Hometown and Family

 

I grew up in Strawberry Point, a small town in northeast Iowa.  I come from a family of six with three older brothers and two sisters-in-law.  I have two nephews, Will (4) and Owen (1.5), who keep me busy running around playing games whenever I see them.

High School

 

While I attended high school I was involved in numerous activities including:

  • Choir
  • Cross country
  • Track and field
  • Plays & musicals
  • Band
  • Softball
  • Youth for Christ
  • Student Council

I also worked at Strawberry Foods and Deli throughout my high school career and at Holy Grounds, a small coffee shop, my senior year.  I loved being involved in a lot of different activities because it allowed me to explore my talents and grow in them.

 

 

College

I am a third year Business Administration major with concentrations in management and marketing.  This is very important to me because I have always valued education, creativity, hard work, and dedication.

Hobbies

I enjoy doing a lot of different activities in my free time.  My main hobbies are:
 
  • Knitting
  • Reading
  • Scrapbooking
 
  • Drawing
  • Hiking
  • Singing

I also love musicals--Wicked, Rent, Chicago, and Phantom of the Opera to name a few--and watching theatrical works.  I love being outdoors and being surrounded by nature (one of the reasons why I worked at EWALU for the past two summers).  I love being around people and being able to make people laugh as well as having serious conversations with them.

Career Goals

 

I have several ideas for what I’d like to do after I graduate from Wartburg College.  I would like to explore careers in both of my concentrations (management and marketing) because they are both very challenging and interesting.  I am mainly interested in retail and food service because they are both fast-paced, fun, and people oriented. 

 

My long-term plan is to one day own my own coffee shop--hopefully sometime in the near future : )
